The suffragettes were members of women's suffrage movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that fought for women's right to vote. The term "suffragette" was first used to describe British women's rights activists, especially those in the Women's Social and Political Union. As their tactics became more militant after 1912, suffragettes engaged in activities like chaining themselves to railings, setting fires, and detonating bombs in their campaign for voting rights. One suffragette died trying to pin a banner to the King's horse in 1913. In response to suffragette hunger strikes in prison, the British government passed the Cat and Mouse Act, releasing weak hunger strikers

In the late 19th century, the suffragette movement began in Britain to advocate for women's right to vote. Led by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters, the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) used increasingly militant tactics like vandalism and hunger strikes to gain attention for their cause after peaceful methods failed. Their actions raised public awareness of the movement, though some suffragettes like Emily Davidson gave their lives. By the time World War I began, public and political support had grown, and women were finally granted the right to vote in Britain in 1918.Why did women get the vote

Women gained the right to vote in the UK in 1928 due to changing social attitudes towards women's roles and abilities, pressure from suffrage groups using both peaceful and violent tactics, women's contributions during World War 1, and other countries granting women's suffrage. Key factors included women entering the workforce in increasing numbers, the suspension of militant suffragette campaigns during the war to support the war effort, political motivations within the Liberal party to undermine the rising Labour party, and other British dominions granting women the vote earlier. However, the path to women's suffrage was gradual and not all women received equal voting rights in 1918.The Suffragettes - Votes for Women - by Louise Deakin

The document discusses the suffrage movement in Great Britain. While women paid taxes, they did not have the right to vote. Some argued that even prisoners and "lunatics" could vote, so why not women? However, many opposed women's suffrage, viewing women as too emotional for politics. Early campaigners called suffragists used peaceful tactics, but faced opposition from political parties. This frustration led to more radical suffragettes, who used violence and vandalism. Though some bills were proposed, none passed. Suffragettes escalated their campaign with bombs and arson, leading to arrests. Hunger strikes in prison won sympathy. World War I suspended campaigns, but awareness was raised, hastening women'sEmmeline Pankhurst

Emmeline Pankhurst was a founder of the British suffragette movement known as the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1903. She led the struggle for women's right to vote in the UK before World War 1. In 1928, she wrote her autobiography titled "My Own Story" documenting her leadership in the suffragette movement and the founding of the WSPU in 1903.Gender equality march 17 - waves of feminists

Emmeline Pankhurst was born in 1858 in Manchester, England to radical parents who supported women's suffrage. She married Richard Pankhurst, a lawyer and suffrage advocate, in 1878. Emmeline helped form the Women's Franchise League in 1889 and the more militant Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1903 to campaign for women's right to vote. Her daughters Christabel and Sylvia were also active in the suffrage movement. Emmeline endured repeated imprisonments for acts of civil disobedience in support of women's suffrage from 1907 until it was granted in 1918.Americans struggle with postwar issues

After World War I, Americans struggled with economic issues as soldiers faced unemployment and the economy slowed without wartime production. There was also social unrest as nativism and isolationism grew, fueled by fear of communism during the Red Scare and Palmer Raids. Immigrant workers like Sacco and Vanzetti faced discrimination, and quotas were established to limit immigration. Labor unrest increased as well, with major strikes in Boston and the steel industry, though unions ultimately failed to gain widespread appeal.02 mccarthy and korea

For years, the Liberal party had rejected extending voting rights to women by opposing bills to grant wealthier women the right to vote and passing laws against women's suffrage protests. However, the Liberal-led government finally granted some women the right to vote in 1918, likely due to fears of losing votes to the Labour party, which supported women's suffrage, and because the new Prime Minister David Lloyd George was more receptive to reform as a New Liberal.Deeds and Words

It began in 1832 when the Great Reform Act extended voting rights to middle-class men, representing about 1 in 6 men. The 1867 and 1884 Reform Acts further expanded the franchise to include more working-class men, with women's groups campaigning for women's suffrage. The 1918 Representation of the People Act first granted some women the right to vote, seen as a reward for their war work, and the 1928 Equal Franchise Act achieved full equal voting rights for all men and women over 21.Unit 1 notes 4

Legislative petitions from 1776 to 1865 were a primary way for Virginians to express concerns and request legislation from the General Assembly on various issues. The petitions often contain hundreds of signatures and supplementary documents that make them useful for genealogical and historical research. Specifically, petitions related to slavery, free African Americans, and race relations are invaluable primary sources on these topics prior to the Civil War. Examples presented include a petition to import slaves from Maryland, a request for compensation for a slave's Revolutionary War service, and citizens demanding the legislature address their fears about the growing free black population after Nat Turner's revolt.Impacts Of International Migration

International migration can have various impacts on both the places people migrate from and to. It can redistribute populations in a way that either reduces or increases spatial differences between dense and sparse areas. Both origins and destinations of migration experience costs and benefits. Migrants often face problems integrating at their destination, like learning a new language or finding housing, while departure points may see strains from losing population. Specific examples discussed include Russian Jews migrating to Israel in the 1950s and 1960s, swelling Israel's population but exacerbating tensions with Palestinians, as well as Turkish guest workers in Germany who faced increasing discrimination and pressure to return home.Causes Of The Civil War

Women gained the right to vote in the UK due to several key factors in the late 19th and early 20th centuries:
1) The Industrial Revolution led more people, including women, to demand political representation to improve living conditions in cities and push for reforms. Wealthy business owners also gained suffrage, increasing calls for universal suffrage.
2) Growing education and newspapers helped spread suffragist ideas. Campaign groups like the Suffragists advocated for equal voting rights.
3) Government reforms impacting daily life, like pensions, increased demands for a say through voting. Pressure also grew as other countries like New Zealand granted women's suffrage.

The campaign for women's suffrage became more violent after 1910 for several reasons. In November 1910, 300 suffragettes who protested in Parliament were beaten by police, which turned some suffragettes to more militant tactics. From 1910 on, suffragettes engaged in acts like breaking street lamps, slashing paintings, arson, and window smashing to gain attention for their cause. The British government responded to the increased militancy with bans on suffragette meetings, force-feeding of hunger-striking suffragettes in prison, and portraying suffragettes negatively in newspapers. These reactions may have further fueled suffragette militancy rather than lessening it.To what extent did the militant campaign for female suffrage change up to 1912

The militant campaign for women's suffrage in Britain changed significantly between 1908-1914. Prior to 1912, sources show suffrage supporters engaging in peaceful organized demonstrations and civil disobedience. However, Emmeline Pankhurst's 1912 speech called for more disruptive forms of property damage to gain attention. Subsequently, sources depict planned acts of vandalism like window smashing that targeted the property of opponents. Though still organized, the militant tactics escalated violence towards property in response to Pankhurst's speech, representing a radical change in the campaign's attitude in a short period of time.More Related Content

The third wave from the 1990s to today responds to the failures of previous waves and campaigns for greater women's political influence. It then focuses on the Suffragettes movement in the UK led by Emmeline Pankhurst that used militant tactics like vandalism and hunger strikes to fight for women's suffrage, or right to vote.913 - Suffragettes and Suffragists

This document provides information about the Suffragettes and Suffragists who campaigned for women's right to vote in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the UK. It explains that the Suffragists used peaceful methods like petitions, meetings, and marches, while the Suffragettes, led by Emmeline Pankhurst, engaged in more militant tactics like interrupting debates, chaining themselves to railings, smashing windows, and setting fires when they did not receive the vote. While both groups aimed to secure women's suffrage, the document evaluates that the Suffragettes' willingness to use violence made them more effective in bringing attention to their cause.The Suffragists

The Suffragists were a pressure group formed in 1897 called the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) led by Millicent Fawcett. They used peaceful protest methods like petitions, newspaper publications, and large processions to campaign for women's right to vote. Their membership grew from 13,000 in 1909 to over 100,000 by 1913 as they worked to gain support from politicians and political parties. While they had some successes in raising awareness, their peaceful tactics proved insufficient to change the law, and women did not gain the right to vote until after World War I.Womens suffrage movement

The Women's Suffrage Movement began in 1848 at a tea party where Elizabeth Cady Stanton expressed her discontent with the fact that voting rights were limited only to white male property owners. This led to the first Women's Rights Convention being held in Seneca Falls, New York that same year. The movement faced significant backlash from newspapers and critics who felt women should not have the right to vote. Key figures like Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth campaigned tirelessly over decades to raise awareness and support for women's suffrage, culminating in the passage and ratification of the 19th amendment in 1920, which guaranteed all American women the right to vote.Women right to vote

The document summarizes the history of women's suffrage movements in the United States, United Kingdom, and Spain. In the US, women like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton fought for voting rights after the 15th Amendment granted black men the right to vote but not women. Their organizations helped secure women's suffrage with the 19th Amendment in 1920. In the UK, John Stuart Mill advocated for women's suffrage in Parliament in the 1860s, while organizations led by Millicent Garret Fawcett and Emmeline Pankhurst used various tactics from the late 1800s until women gained partial suffrage in 1918. In Spain, Clara Campoamor successfully advocated for women's suffrageSimilar to Suffragetes (8)

Suffragettes were early 20th century British women who fought for the right to vote through the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). Led by Emmeline Pankhurst, the WSPU used direct action tactics like heckling politicians, hunger strikes, and property damage. Their tactics became more militant over time and caused controversy. Though internally divided, their campaigning contributed to women gaining the right to vote in the UK in 1918 and 1928.The suffragettes

Victorian women had few rights and were expected to be submissive to their husbands. As the 19th century progressed, women were granted some new rights but not the right to vote. In 1866, the first petition to Parliament asking for women's suffrage was ignored. Peaceful suffrage societies formed but made no progress. The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) led by Emmeline Pankhurst used more militant tactics like window smashing and arson to force the issue, dividing public opinion. After force-feeding of imprisoned suffragettes caused outrage, some support grew. Women who helped with wartime efforts gained recognition. In 1918, some women over 30 gained the right to vote.H12 ch 20_womensrights_2013

This document discusses the history of women's rights from the early 20th century through the late 20th century. It describes how, in the early 1900s, women in many parts of the world had very limited roles and rights. They had little access to education, employment, property rights, or suffrage. Starting around the 1920s, industrialization created more jobs for women. The women's suffrage movement gained successes in the UK, US, and other Western nations through the 1920s. World War I further opened opportunities as women took over men's civilian jobs. Advances in contraception in the 1960s increased women's control over their reproductive rights. However, equality was still lacking, and struggles continued into the late 20Big timeline

This document discusses how women's roles changed in the early 20th century, particularly after World War 1. It notes that during the war, women took on new jobs and responsibilities to support the war effort while the men were away, giving them more freedom and independence. After the war, "flappers" emerged who pushed boundaries by behaving more freely, such as cutting their hair short, wearing short skirts, smoking and drinking. The 19th amendment, which guaranteed women's right to vote, was passed in 1920 after over 70 years of campaigning by suffragists. World War 1 helped advance the cause of women's suffrage by disrupting traditional gender norms.Womens suffrage movement

The women's suffrage movement in the United States achieved women's right to vote gradually from the late 19th century through the early 20th century at state and local levels. In the 19th century, the idea of women's right to vote was radical. The movement gained national organizations like NAWSA in the 1890s and grew into a mass movement in the 1910s, influenced by the more radical British suffragettes. The 20th century focused on passing a national amendment through NAWSA's campaigning, which was finally ratified in 1920.Abolition and womens rights and suffrage
