"Linking three militant English suffragettes": First edition of Gertrude Baillie-Weaver's The Life of Emily Davison; from the collection of Emily Duval with her ownership inscription
COLMORE, G. [Gertrude Baillie-Weaver; Emily Duval].
The Life of Emily Davison.
Kingsway, W.C.: The Woman's Press, 1913.
First edition of Gertrude Colmore's brief biography of Emily Wilding Davison. Octavo, original publisher's wrappers, frontispiece portrait of Davison. Association copy, from the library of fellow English suffragette Emily Duval with her ownership inscription, "Emily D. Duvall Given to her by Mrs. Green Dec. 17th 1913." Like Davison, Emily Duval was a militant petitioner in the fight for women's voting rights and was imprisoned several times. Publishing as Gertrude Colmore, English writer and suffragist Gertrude Baillie-Weaver was active when the suffragettes were most militant. In 1911, she published her best-known work, Suffragette Sally, which furthered the cause of the women’s movement by gaining empathy from its readers. In near fine condition. Rare with three copies traced in auction records.
