Thrilling… The great achievement of the book is that it manages to be both an adventure story – Sally is a wonderful heroine, brave and determined – and a superbly concise work of social history.

A potent mix of hope and brutality… Very readable.

A tale of loyalty, love and courage that brings history to life with snappy dialogue and brilliant images.

An engaging, resonant human story given an utterly gripping graphic realisation.

Sally Heathcote: Suffragette is a graphic novel for people who don’t like graphic novels, and a history book for people who don’t like history. Read it.

A comprehensive and penetrating social analysis. Illuminating and provocative, this is serious, relevant history told with heart, guts and speech bubbles.

Stunning... A visceral and deeply moving tale.

A fascinating new graphic novel… It’s a cliché to say a picture is worth a thousand words. But graphic novels remind us that it’s a cliché because sometimes it’s true.

A powerful book, a real eye opener… A triumph.

The power and passion of the campaign is vividly brought to life by the dynamic illustrations.

A fascinating graphic novel charting the rise of the suffragette movement through the eyes of a servant who embraces the cause.

Communicates elaborate ideas in deceptively simple ways

The storyline is exciting and well thought out to give a wide overview of the suffrage movement. I was very pleasantly surprised.

A seamless blend of historical fact and fiction ... The illustrations are full of energy and expression.

Sally Heathcote: Suffragette is another stunning collaboration from Costa Award winners, Mary and Bryan Talbot. Teamed up with acclaimed illustrator Kate Charlesworth, Sally Heathcote's lavish pages bring history to life.
