Riane,

Our History, Our Future!

A fascinating and powerful reconstruction of prehistory and history which offers new hope for the future.

Examining the past as a blueprint for the future, Riane develops a theory of cultural evolution which contains two models: the dominator model, symbolised by the blade, when half of society dominates the other, and the partnership model, symbolised by the life giving chalice, when men and women are valued equally.

Virago

Jill & Jill.

The Rise of the Women's Suffrage Movement.

The north of England was the cradle of the suffrage movement: here women worked long hours in factories and mills, struggled against poverty and hardship at home, and, at the turn of the century, fought not only for the vote but for a wide range of women's rights.

These radical suffragists, among them remarkable women like Selina Cooper and Ada Nield Chew, called for equal pay, birth control and child allowances. They took their message to women at the factory gate and the cottage door, to the Co-operative Guilds and trade union branches.

One Hand Tied Behind Us, using much unpublished material and interviews with the last surviving descendants of these suffragists, creates a vivid and moving portrait of strong women who, over seventy years ago, envisaged freedoms for which we are still fighting today.
