Researching The Women's Suffrage movement, for a possible article for St. Peter's Review, I Googled Emily Davidson. While reading about her in the Independent, I had a pleasant shock. Halfway down the page on the right hand side is 'Recently Read.' There's a pic of me and link to Foxden Acres on FB. There are also comments from author friends Elaine Everest, Bari Watts and Rebecca Woodhead.

For the ruling establishment of post-Edwardian Britain she was undoubtedly one of the most dangerous.
