Remarks made at the London Library, on October 7, 2022 tracing the connection between the Library and the British women’s suffrage movement. Founded in 1841, the London Library was a subscription library, open to all who could pay dues. The author uses membership forms and library catalogues to explore women members sympathetic to the suffrage cause and how they influenced the Library’s holdings of books on suffrage.
