Historical, True-life

Alice Hawkins - Working Class Suffragette

With oral history passed down over the family generations, Peter gives a stirring and passionate account of his great-grandmother’s hard-fought campaign for the right to vote over 100 years ago. A shoe machinist by trade, lifelong socialist and mother of six, centenary year 2018 marked a bronze statue unveiled of Alice together her sash, hunger-strike medal and more on display at UK Parliament. Illustrated throughout with her very own suffrage memorabilia, sister suffragette Ruth Pownall adds true theatre to an unmissable spoken word show. **** (The Student). www.alicehawkinssuffragette.co.uk
