The Women's Suffrage Movement
Suffragettes
The Suffragettes were lead by Emmeline Pankhurst and her 2 daughters, Cristobel and Sylvia.
The started in 1903.
The official name of the group was the Women's Social and Political Union - WSPU.
Their aims were to get the same political rights as women and to change who has power.
The type of people who joined were wealthy/middle class women. No men were allowed to join.
They did things like breaking windows, chaining themselves to rails, mailing letter bombs and generally using violence to achieve their aims.
Emily Davison
Emily Davison got killed when she got run over by a horse trying to attach a flag to the king's horse to promote the suffrage movement.
It was debated whether she wanted to get killed but came to a conclusion she didn't. (Evidence for both sides shown)
She had appointments booked for after the date she died, so was planning to live on.
She went to Oxford University and was very intelligent, so she knew that if she got run over by a horse the chance of her dying was VERY likely
Suffragists
The Suffragists leader was Millicent Fawcette.
The official name of the group was the National Union Of Women's Suffrage Societies' - NUWSS.
They started in 1897.
They had a couple of aims; to improve the lives of women in England, to get women the right to vote and change societies' opinion on women.
They did allow men in their group as they believed that showing men and women working together could show how they were rational.
They organised things like peaceful protests
Eventually there were more than 50,000 members of the NUWSS.
This was the flag for all Suffragettes and for the WSPU.
This is a picture of Emily Davison on the 4th of June 1913. She died 4 days late in hospital because of her injuries.
This is an original poster made by the Suffragists made.
