Elizabeth Robins (August 6, 1862 - May 8, 1952) was an actress, playwright, novelist, and suffragette. The Messenger, a sensational transatlantic spy novel, was written after Robins' popular book "The Open Question", when Robins decidedly approach the public market. Contemporary review was unfavorable: the Daily Chronicle as 'Wasted Talent' and in Truth as 'a very dead horse indeed'.

Vida Levering, a militant activist and advocate for the women's suffrage movement, struggles against the oppressive political order while defending her beliefs against friends and acquaintances who reject, judge, and condemn her. Set against the backdrop of the Suffragette movement in England, Votes for Women! is a testament to the power of art to envision and enact political resistance.
