The suffragettes
1 In Britain in the 19th century, women had no political rights and they could not vote. Girls received less education than boys and could not go to university. Women were expected to marry and have children and look after the home. Women from families with money stayed at home but many working class girls worked from the age of 10. Jobs for women were badly paid and most worked as servants. Some worked in factories or in agriculture and more educated women were teachers. When a woman married, everything she owned belonged to her husband.
2 In 1897, Millicent Fawcett started a campaign for the right to vote or suffrage and her organization was the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies. Fawcett believed that women could change women’s rights through non-violent protest; she argued that if women paid taxes, they should also have the right to vote.
3 In 1903, Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters, Christabel and Sylvia, created the Women’s Social and Political Union. Its members were called suffragettes. The suffragettes began with peaceful protests and petitions, but Emmeline believed they needed more dramatic protests and the suffragettes began to start fires in buildings, break shop windows and chain themselves to fences. In one famous incident the suffragettes chained themselves to Buckingham Palace.
4 In 1905, Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney interrupted a political meeting. They had a banner with the words Votes for Women. The police arrested the women and they went to prison. When they were in prison they refused to eat and went on hunger strike. When other suffragettes went to prison they also went on hunger strike. When a suffragette prisoner got very weak, she was allowed to leave the prison and sometimes she died. However, if the woman got stronger, the police arrested her again and took her back to prison where she began another hunger strike and the whole process started again.
