	The Suffragette Emily Davison
		Janet: "Very often the suffragette movement is associated only with London but there were many brave women in the North who got involved in the fight for the vote and this novel is a tribute to them.
		"This is no romanticised picture of the suffragettes, but a harshly realistic view of their lives and treatment and also of the ambivalence of some of their members.
		My granddaughter said she never knew anything about that part of history, she was never taught anything about the bravery of those women who we have to thank for all the freedom we have now.

	::The Suffragettes::
		Prison governors were ordered to force feed Suffragettes but this caused a public outcry as forced feeding was traditionally used to feed lunatics as opposed to what were mostly educated women.
		When a Suffragette was sent to prison, it was assumed that she would go on hunger strike as this caused the authorities maximum discomfort.
		The most famous act associated with the Suffragettes was at the June 1913 Derby when Emily Wilding Davison threw herself under the King's horse, Anmer, as it rounded Tattenham Corner.

	The British Suffragette Movement
		Not all suffragettes agreed with the necessity of sensationalism.
		The response of the prisons to the suffragettes' hunger strikes was force-feeding, a gory process that involved shoving a steel tube down the throat or nose of the inmate.
		But the militancy of the suffragettes is the main factor women's suffrage was achieved in 1918; although before the war the suffragettes' militancy angered many, and seemed as if it would delay the enfranchisement process, it was necessary to threaten the government out of a stalemate and into a state of action.

	NWSA Journal--Domesticating Emmeline: Representing the Suffragette, 1930-1993
		The Suffragette Fellowship staged the statue's dedication on March 6, 1930, to attribute the enfranchisement of women in Britain solely to the efforts of the WSPU.
		Organized by the Suffragette Fellowship, these rituals created, conveyed, and sustained a public memory of the women's suffrage movement, fulfilling the projection of Baldwin's speech, and continuing the process of winnowing the memory of a complicated and contentious movement to a single, unified, and idealized point: the statue of Emmeline Pankhurst.
		Suffragette militancy, quelled by love of the nation, and in Walt Disney's Mary Poppins, by love of the family, restores the narrative of British constitutionalism as a gradual, nonviolent progression through the assimilation of selected, disruptive elements.

		Emmeline Goulden was born in Manchester in 1858 and attended her first women's suffrage meeting with her mother at the age of 14.
		These hardships took their toll and Emmeline was never again to be so actively militant, but the harsh manner in which imprisoned suffragettes were treated contributed to a growing public sympathy for their cause.
		Where Emmeline was notable for her militancy, Christabel was known for her remarkable abilities as an organiser and was the force behind numerous of the WSPU's plots and ruses.

		I think that the suffragette campaign made it more likely that women would be given the vote at the beginning of the campaign, but they went too far and made it slightly less likely by the end of the campaign, as I will explain in the following.
		Before the suffragette campaign was the suffragist campaign, these were peaceful protesters that staged meetings and mass rallies.
		However the men in the country were not taking much notice of the peaceful protesters, so the suffragettes decided to take what would have been seen as a far more radical approach to get the votes for women.

	Beatrice Harraden - Suffragette writer
		Arguably one of the best-known Suffragette writers, Beatrice Harraden was a popular novelist who was heavily involved in the Suffragette tax resistance campaign.
		A friend of the Pankhursts, she was one of the first members of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) and a vice-president of the Women Writers' Suffrage League.
		However, by continuing her commercially successful career as a novelist, she was arguably able to get the feminist message across to far more people than she would have done by going to prison or giving up her writing to work full-time for the Pankhursts.
