No Surrender is an important social realist novel about the battle for votes for women. It was written in the moment, at the height of the campaign, by an active suffragette, Constance Maud. Maud was a champion of working class women activists in the suffragette movement at a time when they were dismissed and disregarded by the autocratic leadership of the militant, headline grabbing Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU). Through their graphic novel, Sophie and Scarlett Rickard have taken No Surrender and breathed new life into it for a 21st century readership.
