Gilt on red cloth boards. vii + 647pp. illustrated b/w photos.

Ethel Tawse Jollie was not only the first female member of parliament for the Rhodesian parliament, but actually the first female member of any British Empire parliament outside of Britain itself. This was despite being an anti-suffragist before the Great War. The War and the role of women began to change her mind but it was actually the status of Rhodesia within the Empire that brought her in to politics in 1920. "I got self-government for this country" was her not so idle boast.

This is a detailed study of the times centred around Jollie.
