March, Women, March
March, Women, March | Lucinda Hawksley
25 posts | 2 to read
March, Women, March explores the women's movement in Britain, from the passing of the Marriage and Divorce Act in 1857 to women attaining the vote in 1928. Published to commemorate the centenary of the death of the suffragette Emily Wilding Davison, who threw herself under King George V's horse during the Derby and consequently sustained fatal injuries. This fascinating book uses anecdotes and accounts by both famous and hitherto lesser known suffragettes and suffragists to explore how the voice of women came to be heard throughout the land in the pursuit of equal votes for females. Using diary extracts and letters, the main protagonists of the women's movement are brought back to life as Lucinda Dickens Hawksley explores how they were portrayed in literature and art, as well as the media reports of the day.

We froze...🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 staying in our hometown this year to connect with our fellow social justice fighters was the right thing to do. After the rally we marched through town to the local art council to sign up and get info on alllll social justice causes and women's rights groups. Plus coffee and cocoa. 💗💗💗

My reading plan for March. I also have several others in the works for book clubs. Should be fun reading!

Not bad for me for a month, even though I had a mini-slump in the middle of the month. Adding audio books to my repertoire helps. I need to get a jump start on book club books for the month!

I ended up reading a decent amount of books in March. I was happy to finish the March series, and I made some progress on various reading challenges.

Here is my TBR for March. I hope to read more than I have listed, but I want to get these done at least. I am a day late because we lost power last night during some intense storms.

Thank you to everyone who marched yesterday! Seeing the images from around the country and the world yesterday was so inspiring. Now we have to keep things going and make this a movement, not just a day. The Women's March website is encouraging action every 10 days, read details here:

Michelle_mck How incredible to be a part of it! 7y
Tcip @Alicia I was so surprised by the turn out. Especially in such a conservative state. 7y
becausetrains @Tcip go you!! 😻 7y
Tcip @becausetrains how was D.C.!!? 7y
becausetrains @Tcip it was incredible. Floods of women, intersectional as f (Muslim, Black, trans*, American Indian, Latinx, Asian from all over, undocumented, young, old, etc), and so many individual protests against the corruption and hatred. I've seen estimates everywhere between 500,000 and 1.3m; the latter number is more likely 🇺🇸✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊🏻✊🏽👑 7y
Tcip @becausetrains that is incredible! I am proud that I was able to go a march here to support what you and so many others were able to do in DC! Good on you! 7y
kspenmoll 👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉😊 7y
Alicia @Tcip so true! Looks like a lot of folks were there which is awesome! 7y

I meant to read today, but I've been glued to the tv watching the #womensmarch crowds. I am in awe. I am grateful. Speak up and speak out. It's the only way things will change.

I am totally aware that I signed up for the #womensmarch and the #24in48 readathon all in one weekend. I may not be getting to 24hrs this go around because, y'know, fascism, but I'm still in!! Starting with a catch up on my #hpchapteraday via audiobook during the 45min train ride this morning 😊

Julsmarshall I'm right there with you! Gonna read as much as I can, but must fight fascism too 😄💪🏼🇺🇸 7y

Anyone going to any of the women's marches around the world this Saturday? The hubs and I will be representing in London. This will be my first ever march! 🗽

CocoReads I'm considering our local one. The weather is supposed to be crap but my bestie is making me a hat and I've never been on a march either. 7y
SuperPunkNinja My family and I will be marching in San Jose! ✊ 7y
Foxyfictionista @CocoReads I certainly am not holding out hope that we'll have good weather over here but I'm going to dress warmly and being some hand warmers. I really want to be involved. I don't know if anything will be accomplished but I feel like it is really important for me to get involved. 😊 7y

OrangeMooseReads I'm thinking of going to my local march, but I'm not sure as I don't know if my 8 yr old will be cooperative 7y
