The Story of Women and Power** Historian Amanda Vickery uncovers the 300 year-long campaign by women for political and sex equality in Britain, revealing the largely forgotten heroines (and a few heroes) who fought for the cause. In this series, historian Amanda Vickery explores why, in the early 20th century, thousands of British women joined a violent militant organisation.
