Some of our Y9 students attended a Read Regional event organised by Wallsend Library to hear Author and Graphic Artist Mary and Bryan Talbot talk about their latest collaboration SALLY HEATHCOTE SUFFRAGETTE.
This compelling story set in the early 1900s tells us of the struggle the group of Suffragettes embarked upon to gain women the vote. Told in the style of a comic it makes easy reading of what could be an in depth piece of coursework research for our students. They all agreed that the style of the graphics really brought home the tension and often violent struggle these suffragettes faced.
