KS3 Suffragettes Resources
As early as 1897, women campaigned for the right to vote, which was granted only to men in countries such as Britain and the United States. Millicent Fawcett, founder of the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies, believed peaceful protest and logical arguments could bring about change. However, frustration with the slow progress led some women to take more radical action. A suffragette was a woman in the early 20th century who believed she should have the right to vote (suffrage). Many were arrested for their protest actions, with some going on hunger strikes and others engaging in more militant activities, such as smashing windows or setting fire to postboxes.
One of the most famous suffragettes, Emily Davison, died in 1913 after stepping in front of the King’s horse at the Epsom Derby, bringing national attention to the movement. The sacrifices and determination of these women, along with their efforts during World War I, helped bring about change. By 1918, women over the age of 30 who met certain property requirements were granted the right to vote in the UK. The 19th Amendment was passed in the United States in 1919, giving women the right to vote nationwide. These milestones marked the beginning of greater political rights for women worldwide.
