After their Costa Award-winning Dotter of Her Father's EyesM/em>, Mary and Bryan Talbot have collaborated with Kate Charlesworth for an exhilarating look at the fight for women's suffrage in Britain at the turn of the last century. The text streamlines the complex political infighting of the movement, and the varied, often ingenious graphics convey the emotional toll and physical danger of the struggle in scenes from force-fed hunger strikes to the famous film footage of a suffragette run down by the king's racehorse. Although it's not billed as "young adult," this historical graphic novel would be perfect to introduce readers to what young feminists were up to—and up against—a hundred years ago. —Liz Young Adult Book of the Week Young Adult Book of the Week Sally Heathcote, Suffragette by Mary M.
