(Lucy Lethbridge Financial Times) "BOOK OF THE WEEK: The war between the sisters: Smashed windows, lobbed bombs, a fascinating book casts new light on the bitter rivalry between the women who fought for the vote." (Ysenda Maxtone Graham Daily Mail) "*****Five Stars! Hearts and Minds brings the voices of the suffragists to life in a compelling, entertaining and poignant collection of accounts. It’s a history book that should be read by all as we celebrate the centenary of the vote and continue the fight for equality. Meticulously researched yet never dull, it breathes life into a little-known corner of history" (Stylist) "An eye-opening story, immaculately researched and full of fascinating detail." (CHOICE magazine) "Anecdotal and rich in detail, Robinson’s account moves effortlessly from suffragist to suffragist, using letters, journals and autobiographies to bring personal histories to life. It’s clearly a passion project for Robinson and she manages to hold a fresh lens to this otherwise well-documented portion of history." (Independent) "Hearts and Minds, with its coverage of both suffragist and suffragette, is a lively, informative book that many will enjoy reading." (June Purvis BBC History Magazine) "A fine and sometimes moving account of the struggle for suffrage." (Anthony Quinn Mail on Sunday) "This entertaining and very human account of the Suffragettes' politically charged summer of 1913 is mandatory reading." (The Reading Room, Emerald Street) Book Description ---------------- To celebrate the women's vote centenary in 2018, this is the astonishing and uplifting story of the women's march on London in 1913 - one of the most significant but neglected episodes in twentieth-century history.
