BRLSI talk-Bath and the campaign for Woman’s Rights
Monday 14th of February 2022
7:30 pm – 9:00 pm GMT
When we think of the fight for women’s rights, Bath as a city doesn’t come into our mind’s eye as much as London for example, however, Bath did play a considerable part in this world-changing fight for freedom.
During this enlightening talk, we’ll hear how the suffrage and anti-suffrage campaigning took place in Bath during the years 1866-1914 in the form of the local newspaper, the Bath Chronicle, and the diaries left to us by suffragette Mary Blathwayt.
