The Franchise Bill they fought for (and won) in 1918 only allowed women to vote when they reached age 30. It would be 1928 before British women finally won the right to vote on the same basis as men (at age 21). In their struggle to be recognized as political prisoners (and for general improvements in prison conditions), the women frequently engaged in hunger strikes when they were arrested. Prior to finding this book I was unaware of Queen Victoria’s absolute opposition to equal rights for women, nor the brutal and punitive forced nasogastric feeding imposed on suffragettes in prison. There were also splits between women who engaged in property destruction (window breaking, fire setting and bombings) and those who advocated non-violence. Much of the dissension arose because of class differences – often the solidly upper middle class leadership was out of touch with the thinking and needs of working women. I have read many books about the Suffragettes and this is one I regard highly, it gives a well researched overview of all the key events and the movers and shakers so if you are studying the subject, it is a valuable resource. It also highlights interpersonal and political conflict that arose in the movement. 100 years on now since women got the vote in England. As it relies on letters, diaries and newspaper accounts, it brings to light the individual personalities of various suffragette leaders and men who supported them. This is a somewhat unconventional account of the 100 year battle British women fought to win the vote. Suffragettes: The Fight for Votes for Women

The basic writings of Chuang Tzu have been savored by Chinese readers for over two thousand years. This collection includes the seven "inner chapters," three of the "outer chapters," and one of the "miscellaneous chapters." Using parable and anecdote, allegory and paradox, he set forth in this book the early ideas of what was to become the Taoist school. Chuang Tzu (369?-286? BC) was a leading Taoist philosopher. Haraway states that cyborgs communicate through writing that isn’t defined as the one single code that interprets all communication. She discusses women of color and the struggles they endure due to the world defining them, rather being allowed to define themselves. Haraway criticizes feminism as having fallen into traditional dualities and essentialisms that should be rejected for her cyborg concept, which calls for a coding of the world with boundaries that can be permeated with information through communication. She argues against industrial capitalism and the Western culture of dualism/binary opposites that define groups of people based on race, class, or gender. Haraway presents the concept of the cyborg, which represents a hybrid of three boundary breakdowns: human and animal (brought about by evolution and changing human attitudes about the relationship between humans and animals), human and machine (brought about by the advancement of machine technology in the late twentieth century), and physical and non-physical (brought about by microelectronic devices and the political invisibility of cyborgs).
