Reviews

A feminist fairy-tale, which I recommend if you’re looking for a Christmas present for a teenage girl… A wondrously intricate book, and a witty attack on the patriarchy, this is an instant classic.

—— Rachel Cooke , Observer, Book of the Year

[An] enchanting second graphic novel.

—— James Smart , Guardian

Greenburg has an extraordinary lightness of touch, piling humour and a wonderfully conversational tone into the narrative, which shines brightly and juxtaposes the darkness. Her illustration is similarly bustling with humour and character.

—— MYM Magazine

Think The Arabian Nights depicted through ink and block shades in this gorgeously stylised graphic novel. Despite being fiction, its power lies in its honest and witty narration which so perfectly reflects the lives of women in our own world.

—— Gemma Donnell , Stylist

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

—— The Crack

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.

—— Rosie Hopegood , Skinny

A gripping read.

—— Emerald Street

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

—— Larushka Ivan-Zadeh , Metro

Stunning... A visceral and deeply moving tale.

—— Doug Johnstone , Big Issue

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.

—— Anna Carey , Irish Times

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

—— Bookmunch

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

—— Twin Magazine

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

—— Megan Farr , Wales Online

An informative but accessible read.

—— Antonello Sticca , Total Politics

Communicates elaborate ideas in deceptively simple ways

—— Antonello Sticca , Total Politics

Wonderful graphic novel.

—— Arifa Akbar , Independent

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

—— Lattice , Guardian

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

—— Jacqui Agate , Independent
