About this listen

 Written amidst the fierce struggle for female suffrage, Constance Elizabeth Maud’s novel *No Surrender* (1911) serves as a powerful Call to Arms. This gripping narrative brings to life key figures and pivotal events in the fight for womens voting rights in Britain. Meet Jenny Clegg, a Lancashire millgirl toiling under harsh conditions to support her family, only to have her hard-earned savings taken by her father. Driven by a desire for improved working conditions, equal pay, and fundamental human rights, she becomes part of the movement advocating for womens political representation. The novel thoughtfully weaves together the perspectives of both the genteel and working classes, as well as the men and Antis who shaped this historic struggle. (Summary by Lisa Reichert)
