In this sweeping series, historian Amanda Vickery (The Story of Women and Art) tells the saga of British women's battles in the centuries-old war of the sexes. From a 1649 march for women's rights, to the Duchess of Queensberry crashing the House of Lords in 1738, to the militant activities of the Edwardian era and beyond, suffragettes endured many challenges in their fight for women's equality.
