WHEN Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie wrote “We Should All Be Feminists” in 2014, I don’t imagine she envisaged neonazis being among those who heard her cri de coeur.
Yet the pre-publicity for a far-right Democratic Football Lads Alliance (DFLA) march last month claimed its purpose was — as well as to complain in the usual nebulous fashion about Muslims — to mark “100 years since the suffragists.”
I like to think that among the ranks of anti-fascists who ensured their march did not go to plan, were enraged women’s historians, shouting: “It’s the centenary of PARTIAL ENFRANCHISEMENT you idiots — also SUFFRAGISTS ARE NOT THE SAME AS SUFFRAGETTES!”
