Notes:
- One of the papers that the women were advertising was called 'The Women's Dreadnought', there was also one called 'The Suffragette'
- Suffragists were different from suffragettes
- Lots of working class women had to leave the movement because they were bringing in a large amount of their family's wages. They would give up their only free day of work to join marches but could not dedicate themselves to the movement as many upper class women could
- Upper class and working class women were fighting for different things. Upper class women wanted the right to education but many working class woman wouldn't be able to access this education even if they had the right to access it. Working class women wanted better jobs and pay that mirrored those of the men
- It is believed that Emily Davison tried to kill herself in Holloway Prison to avoid a brutal force feeding
Suffragette - a woman seeking the right to vote through organized protest.
This was a smaller organisation then the Suffragists and did not allow men to join them. The suffragettes used violence to advocate change through miliancy
Suffragist - a person advocating the extension of suffrage, especially to women.
This was the larger organisation that protested peacefully for the right to vote. Thes Pacifists allowed men to support the movement
Quotes from the documentary 'She's Beautiful when She's Angry':
'If you were raped no one believed you. If you were battered no one believed you'
'The marriage was success'
'If men could get pregnant then birth control would be available in gumball machines'
