Jack and Eve: Two Women In Love and At War

Vera Holme, known as Jack, and Evelina Haverfield were pioneering women and lifelong partners who became prominent figures in the suffragette movement, advocating for women's rights and challenging societal norms. Their adventure took them from political activism to daring roles during World War I, including running hospitals and driving ambulances under dangerous conditions. Their story highlights their resilience and trailblazing efforts in demonstrating women's capabilities, all while navigating complex personal and social landscapes. Author Wendy Moore offers a compelling look at their lives, exploring themes of feminism, sexuality, and change across the twentieth century.
