The Lovereading4Kids comment
Interest Age Teen Reading Age 13 | In a nutshell: inspiring story about women winning the vote | It’s summer 1914 and Lizzy is enjoying a new freedom: she’s saved the wages from her job as an office junior in an insurance company and bought a bicycle. The job and her new bike lead Lizzy indirectly to a meeting of the Women’s Social and Political Union, and more freedoms: inspired by what she hears she joins the Suffragettes, willing – even proud – to be imprisoned for her cause. Linda Newbery brings the suffragette movement to life through the eyes of one vividly drawn young woman, making us all aware of our continuing responsibility to stand up for what we believe, and to use our votes. It’s worth checking out the story of the cover too, specially created by artist Stewart Eaton.
Readers will also enjoy Anna Carey’s longer novel The Making of Mollie and Opal Plumstead by Jacqueline Wilson, which also feature Suffragettes. ~ Andrea Reece

Synopsis
Until We Win by Linda Newbery
A hundred years ago, women didn't have the vote. When Lizzy Frost becomes involved with the fledgling Suffragette movement, it expands her horizons in ways she never could have imagined. From time spent in prison for the cause, to new relationships with fellow campaigners, Lizzy's struggle for votes for women sets her heart on fire.
In Until We Win, Linda Newbery presents a powerful drama that explores not just the struggle but the spirit of women in the 1910s as they braved frenzied protests and militant missions, hardships at home and hunger strikes in cold prison cells. The book’s message is complemented by Stewart Easton’s cover artwork which uses another Suffragette tactic of protest – embroidery – as well as their distinctive colours.
Stewart also worked on the cover for Linda’s previous Barrington Stoke title, Tilly’s Promise, which earned wide acclaim, including a review from
