Reviews of Sally Heathcote:

Both Sally Heathcote: Suffragette and Grandville Noël feature in Joe Gordon's best books of 2014, over on the Forbidden Planet International blog.

Woman and her sphere reviews Sally Heathcote: "I had no hesitation in deciding that Sally Heathcote Suffragette was a winner."

The Independent: "Talbot deals with these complexities with a deft hand, weaving a tale around fictional Sally that encompasses both the bright and dark moments of the movement."

The Guardian: "The suffragettes' struggle reborn as a gripping graphic adventure"

Down The Tubes: Creating Sally Heathcote: Suffragete

The Skinny: "As notable for its historical accuracy as it is for its engrossing storyline, this is the sort of book you'll wish you'd read at school."

The Express: "Never read a graphic novel? Sally Heathcote: Suffragette is a great place to start."

Digital Spy: "their fascinating account of the battle for universal suffrage."

The Herald Scotland: "an example of how effective the graphic novel form can be"

Mary Talbot and Kate Charlesworth have their guest Director's Commentary on Sally Heathcote: Suffragette up on the Forbidden Planet blog - for those not familiar with that, it's an occasional feature they run where instead of one of them doing review or interview the spot is given to the creators to talk about their new work in their own words. Nice way to give readers some insight into interesting new work and hopefully also get the book onto their reading radar.

Sally wins graphic novel award!
The Spanish edition of Sally Heathcote, Suffragette has been awarded Best Graphic Novel of the Year by the Madrid Booksellers Association. The publishers, Ediciones La Cúpula, will be releasing their second edition in December.

The Jury said: "The main character of the story, the redhead Sally Heathcote, represents thousands of women who in the early twentieth century in the United Kingdom planned and launched a struggle for civil rights which were banned to them, including the right to vote, essential to achieve the right to equality."

Sally Heathcote wins second Spanish award
The Spanish edition of the book, Sally Heathcote, Sufragista, published by Ediciones La Cúpula, received the Splash award for Best Graphic Novel of 2015 at the Sagunt Comics Festival in February.

It's a timely preview of the book, as in June 2013 we have the centenary of the death of the renowned militant suffragette, Emily Wilding Davison.
