Turbulent Spinsters tells the story of how Muriel Matters and Violet Tillard brought the Women’s Freedom Van from London to Hastings, where they were pelted with fish heads; how that same Muriel Matters effectively became the first woman to speak in the House of Commons, shouting out ‘votes for women’ before being dragged out still chained to an iron grille; and how local women took part in a law defying census strike all in their attempt to win the vote.
