I've just finished reading Elizabeth Robins' suffrage novel, The Convert, which makes very interesting reading after Kate's diary.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-10706246710621844692014-08-07T16:51:35.684+10:002014-08-07T16:51:35.684+10:00I've been reading the extracts on Women and Sp...I've been reading the extracts on Women and Sphere, and thinking how much I should like to read this book. The little details are great - e.g., her comment "but some of the walkers of the AFL looked very dowdy" is quite telling, I think - it both humanizes more official accounts and tells us something about the writer. skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-39043914533316724452014-08-07T12:51:01.881+10:002014-08-07T12:51:01.881+10:00Elizabeth's blog is full of interesting info. ...Elizabeth's blog is full of interesting info.
