Vanishing for the Vote

More about the book

The narrative focuses on the events of census night in 1911, when the Liberal government mandated compliance from all households while denying women the vote. In response, suffragette organizations called for a boycott, urging women to refuse participation in the census as a form of protest against their disenfranchisement. This pivotal moment highlights the struggle for women's rights and the lengths to which activists went to challenge societal norms.
