Reddit reviews A Radical History of Britain: Visionaries, Rebels and Revolutionaries - the men and women who fought for our freedoms

Honestly I am not in the position to inform, but this book is the best I've seen, it covers from the Magna Carta to Suffrage, and is basically a history of the rebels and radicals or Britain. It says that the suffragists came first, and were strictly non-violent, whereas the Suffragettes, which was first a splinter group angry at the lack of progress, resorted to the types of violence used in Ulster at the time. Unlike the Irish terrorists, they never killed anyone, but they specifically wished to use terror (in the form of arson, window breaking etc.) to get their way. Personally I would much rather we commemorated Millicent Fawcett than the Pankhurst's anyway, as she seemed to be much more involved in the actual governmental side of suffrage.
