7. JACK AND EVE: TWO WOMEN IN LOVE AND AT WARVera Holme, known as Jack, and Evelina Haverfield, a society beauty, met in 1909, fell in love, lived together, and became public faces of the suffragette movement. When the First World War broke out, Eve set up and ran hospitals for allied soldiers, while Jack became an ambulance driver, travelling along dirt tracks under bombardment to collect the wounded from the front lines. Determined to be themselves, 'forthright, flamboyant and proud', Wendy Moore uses their inspiring story as a lens through which to view the suffragette movement, the work of women in WWI and the development of lesbian identity throughout the twentieth century.
