Margot I. Duley
Margot I. Duley received a BA from Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador, an MA from Duke University, and a PhD from the University of London, where she was a Rothermere Fellow. Her scholarly interests include the history of women’s movements, especially in India, the United States and Newfoundland, and international women’s alliances.

From Silence to Suffrage reveals the full history of how Newfoundland women won the right to vote, despite fierce opposition. It builds on historian Margot Duley’s pathbreaking study of the Newfoundland women’s suffrage movement (Where Once Our Mothers Stood We Stand, published in 1993) with newly uncovered information and deeper research.
