Why was this poster published in 1909? Content? Context? Provenance? Purpose? Year / Author etc.

A suffragette poster. Designed to encourage voters to vote against the Liberal PM Asquith in the Jan 1910 general election. Shows the force-feeding of suffragettes – “militant” female campaigners of the right to vote. Image shows the violence of force-feeding. Women as “political prisoners”; image is suggestive of rape. “Bills” to allows women’s suffrage were introduced 1907, 1908 and 1909 but did not become law despite a majority of MPs supporting women’s suffrage”

(i) the fight in Parliament; VfW: (i) the fight in Parliament; (ii) Emily Davison

How are new laws made?

A Bill = a proposed law An Act = a Bill that has been agreed by Parliament and become law A Bill needs to complete its passage within a Parliamentary year… if not, it starts again…

Why were the suffragists and suffragettes angry? 1906: Liberal Gov elected… 400/650 MPs favour women’s suffrage! 1907 – Women’s suffrage Bill (1) delayed by opponents – runs out of time 1908 – another Bill (2) – passes “2nd reading” but gets no further 1909 – another Bill (3) – ditto 1910 – a new Conciliation Bill (4) – passed by a majority of 110 on 2nd reading… but then a GE is called! 1911 – Conciliation Bill (5) reintroduced 1912 – Asquith (Lib PM) drops support for Conciliation Bill! 1913 – another Bill (6) – fails to progress 1914 – WW1 begins…

1911: Asquith drops the Conciliation Bill The government promised a Conciliation Bill to give women the vote – it won all-party support The suffragettes suspended militant action and the suffragists held 4000 meetings to support the bill It got the biggest ever majority (167) but then Asquith dropped the bill in favour of introducing votes for all men! He said a clause (add-on) about women’s votes could be added if MPs wished. Suffragists and suffragettes alike were furious

The curious case of Emily Davison Had been in prison 9 times Had set fire to post boxes and a post office Had been on hunger strike in prison
