The Prime Minister promised to change the law so that women had the right to vote. 18 November 1910, 300 women went to Parliament to protest. They were beaten up by police who had been ordered by the government to frighten and humiliate the women. One woman died… From 1910 the suffragette campaign became more MILITANT. Hundreds would risk a prison sentence. Street lamps were broken. Thirteen pictures were hacked in the Manchester Art Gallery. Houses were set on fire. Bombs were placed near the Bank of England. As part of your revision, think about the arguments and facts you would use to explain: What the arguments were for and against female suffrage. How effective the activities of the suffragists and the suffragettes were. Why some women were given the vote in 1918.

9 Source A – Importance of Sylvia Pankhurst In June 1914, she famously took a delegation of working class women to lobby Prime Minister Asquith who did not think that working class women were intelligent enough to have the vote. This proved to Asquith that working class women were intelligent enough to vote. Source B – Importance of the NUWSS The NUWSS was established in 1897 by Millicent Fawcett and its members were known as Suffragists. The NUWSS hoped to persuade politicians to give them the right to vote and undertook a peaceful campaign. Some of their tactics included petitions, distributing leaflets and organised meetings. They were the first organised group of women to begin campaigning for female suffrage. They were responsible for persuading a number of MPs to back their cause. Fawcett believed that if the organisation was seen to be intelligent, polite and law-abiding then women would prove themselves responsible enough to participate fully in politics. Source C – Millicent Fawcett (NUWSS) talking about the importance of the WSPU. “In my opinion, far from having injured the movement, they have done more during the last 12 months to bring it within the region of practical politics than we have been able to accomplish”. Source D – Historian on the Suffragettes “After November 1911 the position is much more doubtful. Militancy was becoming more extreme and strong antagonism was being aroused. The public could hardly be expected to approve of arson.” Source E – Image of Suffragists campaigning in 1900.
