The Men's Share? : Masculinities, Male Support and Women's Suffrage in Britain, 1890-1920

The opposition of men to women's suffrage is well-known.

However, men's "support" for women's suffrage is a neglected subject.

In the late 19th and early 20th century, over 1000 men were prepared to join societies and actively work for women's suffrage, whilst many other men offered support.

This text examines who these men were, how they organized themselves and how they put pressure on the government.
