Her novel \u003ci\u003eNo Surrender\u003c\/i\u003e was published at the height of that struggle and used as a persuasive tool by suffragists. Hailed by Emily Wilding Davison as \"a book which breathes the very spirit of our Women's Movement,\" the fast-paced story interweaves the lives of women from all classes working together to bring about change. Our hero, Jenny, is a small but fierce Lancashire textile mill worker who puts principle before everything. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNo Surrender \u003c\/i\u003eis sometimes funny, sometimes violent, but always exciting and authentic.
