Copies of the book are signed by the authors Helen Antrobus, social history curator and historian specialising in 20th century political women, and Andrew Simcock, Manchester City Councillor who launched the Womanchester campaign in 2014 to erect a statue in Manchester of a woman of significance to the city.
