Sally Heathcote

Discover the stunning graphic novel from the Costa Award-winning authors of Dotter of her Father's Eyes.

Sally Heathcote: Suffragette is a gripping inside story of the campaign for votes for women. A tale of loyalty, love and courage, set against a vividly realised backdrop of Edwardian Britain, it follows the fortunes of a maid-of-all-work swept up in the feminist militancy of the era. Sally Heathcote: Suffragette is another stunning collaboration from Costa Award winners, Mary and Bryan Talbot. Teamed up with acclaimed illustrator Kate Charlesworth, Sally Heathcote's lavish pages bring history to life.

Reviews

Thrilling… The great achievement of the book is that it manages to be both an adventure story – Sally is a wonderful heroine, brave and determined – and a superbly concise work of social history.

—— Rachel Cooke , Observer

[An] excellent and fascinating book.

A potent mix of hope and brutality… Very readable.

A tale of loyalty, love and courage that brings history to life with snappy dialogue and brilliant images.

An engaging, resonant human story given an utterly gripping graphic realisation.

—— The Crack

Sally Heathcote: Suffragette is a graphic novel for people who don’t like graphic novels, and a history book for people who don’t like history. Read it.

—— Rosie Hopegood , Skinny

A gripping read.

—— Emerald Street

A comprehensive and penetrating social analysis. Illuminating and provocative, this is serious, relevant history told with heart, guts and speech bubbles.

—— Larushka Ivan-Zadeh , Metro

Stunning... A visceral and deeply moving tale.

—— Doug Johnstone , Big Issue

A fascinating new graphic novel… It’s a cliché to say a picture is worth a thousand words. But graphic novels remind us that it’s a cliché because sometimes it’s true.

—— Anna Carey , Irish Times

A powerful book, a real eye opener… A triumph.

—— Bookmunch

The power and passion of the campaign is vividly brought to life by the dynamic illustrations.

A fascinating graphic novel charting the rise of the suffragette movement through the eyes of a servant who embraces the cause.

An informative but accessible read.

A seamless blend of historical fact and fiction ... The illustrations are full of energy and expression.
