What? Where? When? What about?

Women’s Rights in the 19 th century As the 19 th century progressed, women were given some number of rights: - 1857 : - 1882 : - 1907 : - But by 1900 they had still not been given the right to vote in Parliamentary elections.

The Suffragists In 1866, a number of women took a petition, signed by 1,500 women to Parliament . The NUWSS In 1897, the various women’s suffrage societies joined together into the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies (NUWSS).

The WSPU In 1903 Purple stood for dignity, white for purity and green for hope for the future.

What did the WSPU do?

More violence In 1913 Emily Davison threw herself under the king’s horse on Derby Day. She was killed.

What did the Suffragettes say about their violent tactics? “We have tried every way, but we have had contempt poured upon us. Violence is the only way that we have to get the power that every citizen should have.” Emmeline Pankhurst, speaking in 1912.

The Reaction to the Suffragettes Posters ridiculing the Suffragettes were made.

Force Feeding What happened to the Suffragettes who were arrested? The Cat and Mouse Act, 1913

Representation of the People Act 1918 In 1918 the Representation of the People Act was passed which allowed women over the age of 30 who met a property qualification to vote. Although 8.5 million women met this criteria, it only represented 40 per cent of the total population of women in the UK. Equal Franchise Act 1928 It was not until the Equal Franchise Act of 1928 that women over 21 were able to vote and women finally achieved the same voting rights as men. This act increased the number of women eligible to vote to 15 million.
