Vera Holme, better known as Jack, abandoned her career as a jobbing actress to work as Emmeline Pankhurst's chauffeur and mechanic. Evelina Haverfield was a timeless beauty, the fourteen-year-older daughter of a Scottish baron. In 1908, they met, fell in love, and cohabited. They became the public faces of the suffragette movement, enduring prison and doing everything in their power for the cause.
The First World War temporarily halted the suffragette campaign, and Jack and Eve joined the Scottish Women's Hospital Service. They soon found themselves in Serbia. Eve established and managed hospitals for allied soldiers in deplorable conditions, while Jack became an ambulance driver, traveling along dirt tracks under bombardment to collect wounded soldiers from the front lines.
Together, they blazed new trails, demonstrating that women could do everything men could do, whether driving ambulances, running military hospitals, becoming prisoners of war, or bearing arms. They refused to compromise on their sexuality - they were lifelong partners, even though Jack had relationships with other women. Wendy Moore uses their 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.
