PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Dr Emelyne Godfrey studied the culture of self-defence in the Victorian and Edwardian eras and helped to popularise the subject of ‘jujut-suffragettes’ through articles for the TLS, BBC History Magazine and History Today, appearing on The One Show with Gyles Brandreth. She lectures widely and has previously written on crime and self-defence in Victorian literature for Palgrave Macmillan. She is chairman of the H.G. Wells Society and on the committee of the Metropolitan Police History Society. She lives in London.
'Godfrey tells the story with a keen eye for historical context and an innate understanding of the world that Kitty, her fellow suffragettes and the police who sought them inhabited.' -- All About History * All About History *
