Mosley's Old Suffragette

This biography of Norah Elam (formerly known as Norah Dacre Fox) describes how one remarkable woman directed the flow of a series of dramatic events in recent British history. Interned in Holloway Prison during both world wars, Norah Elam's spirit for radical feminism was well suited to the revolutionary Britain of the first half of the twentieth century.Her transition from vigorous suffragette activities, including imprisonment and force feeding, to later joining Oswald Mosley's inner circle intrigues. The authors attempt to understand how a woman who spent the first part of her life fighting for equality later turned to the dark forces of fascism, and they explore the long lasting emotional impact on their family.
