The Rickard Sisters on No Surrender

In conversation about No Surrender and graphic novels.

Constance Maud was at the heart of the British campaign for women's votes. Her novel No Surrender was published at the height of that struggle and used as a persuasive tool by suffragists.

In this faithful graphic adaptation, creators Scarlett and Sophie Rickard craft a compelling fiction that paints a comprehensive picture of social, political, economic and cultural life in early 20thcentury Britain that is still acutely relevant today. The graphic format is the embodiment of the suffrage rallycry of "Deeds not Words" and this book is the perfect sister volume to their stunning adaptation of the socialist classic The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.
