Devoted Husbands: the men behind Leicester Suffragettes - A Talk by Jess Jenkins

Devoted Husbands: the men behind Leicester Suffragettes

A talk by local historian Jess Jenkins

The popular image of the times, encouraged by comic postcards, was that the husbands of suffragettes faced chaos, neglect and worse still - disruption of their domestic routines. The truth was far from this. Many men supported their wives in the struggle. This talk looks at the husbands of three local women who endured violence, serious injury and even imprisonment in order to help win women the vote.

Tickets £5, book in advance online.
