Women gained the right to vote because of the suffragists + suffragettes
Counterargument: Women gained the right to vote because of only the suffragists
Suffragists got the support of the MP's, who eventually approved the of women's votes
Suffragettes intimidated the parliament + put them off giving the vote to militants (they harmed the whole movement)
Suffragettes lost supporters with their violent actions
the suffragettes were an excuse for the government not to give the vote
Suffragettes ruined all the work the suffragists had done

Cat and Mouse Act 1915/force-feeding(gained sympathy)
gained publicity with direct action (1908), making it hard for the government to ignore
people admired their determination (e.g. Emily Davidson in 1913)
the funeral of Emily Davison (attended by both groups) brought a lot of attention and wasn't a violent protest
the government was forced to give the women the vote because they didn't want the same pre-war violence
