Jo Vellacott is an independent scholar of peace and of women's rights in Britain.
"Vellacott's illuminating story tells of the life and work of a woman who made an important contribution to suffrage -- and later to peace-activism ... and contains outstanding research on an important topic." Deborah Gorham, Department of History, Carleton University. "The book's significant new contribution is its 'insider' perspective, based on the author's exemplary, definitive analysis of the huge archive of Catherine Marshall papers -- a source never so thoroughly worked before ... The author is clearly the world authority on this material ... and her work is, in addition to its contribution to British political history, a real addition to the growing corpus of British women's biography." Sybil Oldfield, School of Cultural and Community Studies, University of Sussex. "Vellacott's study of Catherine Marshall blends admirably the political history of the Edwardian period, surveyed until now almost exclusively from a perspective of males, with the new dimensions of women's history. All historians of Britain in the turbulent years before 1914 will welcome this compelling, fresh analysis." Richard A. Rempel, The Bertrand Russell Editorial Project, McMaster University.
