Reading Experience:

Evidence:

"A conversion narrative precisely illustrating ... [the] effects of reading in action is told by Margaret Smith, who sceptically bought a copy of Votes for Women around 1909, took it home, and read it straight through: ' ... When I had finished reading that paper I ... realized that I had been a Feminist all my life without knowing it'."
