“During the first decades of universal suffrage, in the 1920s and 1930s, Lettice Fisher was a prolific writer in the cause of equipping all voters, but particularly women, to function as responsible and informed citizens. She wrote many books for both children and adults on economics and history. The didactic nature of much of her work is evident in Then and Now (1925), in which she uses the past to illuminate the present, drawing parallels between the economic and social upheavals following the Napoleonic wars and the choices faced by governments after 1918” (ODNB).
