The Significance of Suffrage in the UK

Lucky, i dont know why im writing this because this will never have to face the abuse and strain i had to cope with before i took my wise decision. A suffragette is no profession for a child, let alone a manipulative one. I cant help it that i HATE you; why couldn't you have stayed the same and not stood out? You ruined our reputation- well mine now! My money is only a tool, it is not super glue to fix Dumb Lucky Johnson's ignorant offences!!! Your name is a shield, your heart is your enemy, your breath is fast but will slow down- my reputation is gone and its ALL down to you!! Only MY reputation; YOU are dead to me now! From Dad
