Do you support votes for women?

Source A reveals a cartoon drawn by Bernard Partridge in It illustrates two women who are both campaigners for the female suffrage, though one is a suffragist, on the left; and the other is a suffragette, on the right. The caption: 'THE SHRIEKING SISTER,' the lady on the left described as the sensible woman, says 'YOU help are cause? Why, you're its worst enemy!' displays that, "THE SHRIEKING SISTER," refers to the suffragettes, who no one wants to speak or listen to. "The sensible woman," refers to the non aggressive suffragist. The quote "YOU help our cause? Why, you're its worst enemy!" reveals that the suffragettes are holding back the bill because of their vicious actions. The picture shows a sign which says "Great Liberal Meeting TODAY." This indicates that the suffragettes want to interrupt the political meeting. The suffragist in the picture is shown as a respectable, upper class lady, who is dignified, calm, stern and peaceful.

Source A by Bernard Partridge is his interpretation of Suffragettes. Firstly, it looses its seriousness, for being a cartoon and secondly, it agrees in a more secretive way, as for Corelli, she presents her views in a more blatant and obvious way. Partridge pretends to be in the Suffragists side, against the Suffragettes by stirring in between them, and masking his views. For example calling the Suffragist a 'sensible woman', and calling the Suffragette a 'Shrieking Sister'. As for when the 'sensible woman, says': 'YOU help or cause? Why, you're its worst enemy!' Partridge is probably trying to create a brawl between the two groups. In the cartoon the suffragist is dressed up finer than the Suffragette, as she is adorned in fur, a flowered hat and a veil over her face, giving us an idea of the types of women who asked for a vote in those times, mostly being the Second class. As for the Suffragette's clothing, it is all tattered and she is shown to be an old lady, raising her hands and arms, with an unsatisfied impression on her face, that could be symbolising what Partridge thinks of the Suffragettes and what type of character he thinks the Suffragettes might have for using violent ways, for example, old ladies reaching their dotage, being Imbecile and always grumbling, and never satisfied, as for the Suffragist a young lady, fighting for her rights in a more mature and noble way. Under all this we know that he, (Bernard Partridge) is doing this just to create a tussle between the Suffragists and the Suffragettes, and of what they think of each other. Suffragists thinking that Suffragettes do not help, but instead they cause and are the reason why the women cant get the vote, due to their violent methods. And so, Partridge probably assuming that the Suffragettes will not accept the way the Suffragists see their 'sisters' and so a fight will develop.

The cover-up followed swiftly after. When the Daily Mirror published a photograph of suffragette Ada Wright lying collapsed on the ground, her hands clutching her face, the government tried to stop the newspaper being sold and ordered the negatives to be destroyed. Newspapers that supported the government only selected and used photographs showing Suffragettes as aggressors
