Lara Campbell follows the propaganda campaigns undertaken by suffrage organizations and traces the role of working-class women in the fight for political equality. She demonstrates the connections between British Columbian and British suffragists and examines how racial exclusion and Indigenous dispossession shaped arguments and tactics for enfranchisement. \u003cem\u003eA Great Revolutionary Wave\u003c\/em\u003e rethinks the complex legacy of suffrage by considering both the successes and limitations of women's historical fight for political equality. That legacy remains relevant today as Canadians continue to grapple with the meaning of justice, inclusion, and equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56822890955126,"sku":"9780774863230","price":19.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37622086.jpg?v=1765252974","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780774863230-a-great-revolutionary-wave","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
