Presentation transcript:

Opposition Intensifies The suffrage movement had always faced opposition but this intensified when the suffragettes became more militant. There were a number of methods used but one of the most popular and effective way was through posters. Anti-suffragettes posters attacked the suffragettes in a number of ways. Go through the posters and describe how it is attacking the suffragettes.

Presentation Questions 1) How are the sources trying to attack the suffragette movement? 2) How effective do you think the sources are? Which one is most effective and why?

1911: A breakthrough? In 1911 the government promised a Conciliation Bill. The bill was going to allow a large number of women to have the vote. It received all- party support. The suffragettes suspended militant action and the suffragists held 4000 meetings over 140 days. It looked as though success was just around the corner. Then Asquith dropped the bill – the suffragists and suffragettes were furious!

The Suffragist response How do you think they reacted? 1) A group of suffragists went to see the Prime Minister to persuade him to change his mind. 2) The suffragists also decided to support the Labour Party at the next election (they were the only party committed to female suffrage). 3) They organised a peaceful pilgrimage form Carlisle to London involving thousands of suffragists. 4) They also offered free membership to working women.

The suffragette response How do you think they reacted? 1) They smashed windows, set fire to post boxes, bombed churches, damaged cricket pitches and golf courses. Art galleries closed after they slashed valuable paintings. 2) Many were arrested – in jail they protested by going on hunger strike. The government responded by force feeding protesters. This was brutal and degrading and won sympathy for the suffragettes. 3) Then in June 1913 came the most publicised protest of all – the death of Emily Davison.

Emily Davison 1) What are you thoughts on this case study? 2) How does source 13 highlight that the views towards women have not changed? Look at the language used. 3) How does the suffragette interpret the event? Source 14 and 15 4) How do you think people would have reacted? Did this do any good for the campaign?
