The convert

The Convert (1907) vividly brings to life an exciting and dangerous time in the struggle for women's rights through the story of Vida Levering, an upper-class British woman converted to the working-class suffrage movement. Robins juxtaposes the witty dialogue of elegant drawing rooms with the rough-and-tumble outdoor meetings of Trafalgar Square.
