Thread Name: Lyr Req: Women's Marseillaise (Florence Macaulay)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Woman's Marseillaise
Susie Steinbach, a history professor at Hamline University, who has specialized in women's history in Britain, writes:
Macaulay was a militant suffragette and a member of the Women's Social and Political Union. You will probably find reference to her in Elizabeth Crawford's reference guide to Women's Suffrage, and in Laura Nym Mayhall's book on Militancy. I don't know where you could get the lyrics, but you might try histories of the WSPU by Christabel or Emmeline Pankhurst (leaders of the WSPU) or one of their followers.
I looked up 2 of these books in a catalog:
"The Militant Suffrage Movement : Citizenship And Resistance In Britain, 1860-1930" by Laura E. Nym Mayhall
