Jill Liddington on writing suffragette: Lavena Saltonstall
Friday 9 July, Hebden Bridge Library, 7.30pm

Lavena Saltonstall, fustian tailoress from Hebden Bridge, is the most celebrated of all local suffragettes. We know about her through her vivid writing, in which she reflected back on her own confining growing-up. This evening, Jill Liddington, author of Rebel Girls, discusses Lavena’s own writing and the Votes for Women campaigns which took her first to Halifax, then down to London, then into Holloway.
