Alice Hawkins – Working Class Suffragette
Great-grandson Peter Barratt with Sister Suffragette Ruth Pownall
With oral history passed down over the family generations, Peter gives a stirring and passionate account of his great-grandmother’s hard-fought campaign for the right to vote over 100 years ago. A shoe machinist by trade, lifelong socialist and mother of six, centenary year 2018 marked a bronze statue unveiled of Alice together with her sash, hunger-strike medal and more on display at UK Parliament. Illustrated throughout with her very own suffrage memorabilia, sister suffragette Ruth Pownall adds true theatre to an unmissable spoken word show. \*\*\*\* (The Student). www.alicehawkinssuffragette.co.uk.
