MEMORIES OF A MILITANT. 



By ANNIE KENNEY. 



One Volume. Demy 8vo. With Illustrations. 16s. net. 



The reader will not get far into this volume without falling in 

 love with Miss Annie Kenney, however strongly opposed he may 

 have been to the Suffragette campaign. The fight is over and the 

 angry passions roused by it have subsided, so that in a calmer 

 atmosphere we can admire the courage, resourcefulness, and devotion 

 to their cause of women who Uke Miss Kenney were ready to sacrifice 

 everything for a principle. She and her friends possessed the 

 qualities of which martyrs are made, and though we may laugh 

 at the humours of the struggle, actual tragedy was never far off. 

 Fearsome and terrible indeed to the feminine nature must have been 

 the hostile crowds, the certain prospect of rough handling, of arrest, 

 prosecution, imprisonment, and forcible feeding. The protagonists 

 were no viragoes, but well-educated women from happy and com- 

 fortable homes, to whom the mere thought of making themselves 

 conspicuous would in ordinary Hfe have been abhorrent. Miss 

 Kenney herself is evidently one of the kindhest folk, though her 

 zeal knew no bounds. Probably she seemed to her opponents a 

 dangerous fanatic, but she reveals herself in this book a true woman, 

 tender-hearted, sympathetic, cheerful, and gaily humorous whatever 

 happens. Her devotion to the other leaders of the Movement was 

 unbounded, and it is interesting to read her affectionate tribute to 

 ladies whose very names were anathema to the other side during the 

 heat of the fray. Interesting too are the interviews she reports 

 with statesmen of the day — Sir H. CampbeU- Banner man, Mr. 

 Lloyd George, Lord Balfour, and Mr. Asquith — ^whose methods of 

 dealing with very perplexing and novel situations differed widely.
