77 pp. Quarter green cloth over original red and white pictorial boards. Wear to edges and slightly at head of spine, with the binding being a bit shaken. Rubbing to remainder of spine, a few stains to boards and foxing to text. Compiled by Mrs Aubrey Dowson to fundraise for the women's suffrage movement. Mrs Dowson was a member of the NUWSS Birmingham branch and her contributors to this work were members of the movement from across the country (Financial Times). This book includes a 'recipe for cooking and preserving a good suffrage speaker', which includes the instructions to 'grease the dish by paying all of the speaker's expenses' and to 'beat her to a froth with an optimistic spoon, making light of all disappointments.' The provider of the above recipe is 'Mrs Bertrand Russell' [Alys Pearsall Smith]. Also included are a selection of recipes for the 'suffrage worker', which can be made quickly and easily, as well as a recipe for 'Chestnut as a Vegetable' by Mrs Fawcett. Scarce.
