The Suffragettes
The document discusses the Suffragettes, a women's group in the early 1900s that used violent and disruptive tactics like property damage, arson, and hunger strikes to campaign for women's right to vote. Their actions generated significant publicity but also lost them public and political support, though historians argue the Suffragettes were ultimately influential in pressuring the government to extend the vote to women. The document examines both the negative and positive impacts of the Suffragettes' militant suffrage campaign.
913 - Suffragettes and Suffragists
This document provides information about the Suffragettes and Suffragists who campaigned for women's right to vote in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the UK. It explains that the Suffragists used peaceful methods like petitions, meetings, and marches, while the Suffragettes, led by Emmeline Pankhurst, engaged in more militant tactics like interrupting debates, chaining themselves to railings, smashing windows, and setting fires when they did not receive the vote. While both groups aimed to secure women's suffrage, the document evaluates that the Suffragettes' willingness to use violence made them more effective in bringing attention to their cause.
Women and the vote - The Suffragettes
The Suffragettes were a women's rights group formed in 1903 led by Emmeline Pankhurst that used militant tactics like arson and bombing to campaign for women's right to vote. Their violent actions gained significant publicity and put pressure on the government. When Suffragettes were imprisoned, they went on hunger strikes which led to forced feedings, generating more sympathy for their cause. However, their violent tactics also alienated some supporters and politicians they needed to pass reforms.
Women and the vote - Changing attitudes to women
Women were gaining more legal rights and jobs in the late 19th century, playing a greater role in politics and campaigning for women's suffrage. World War 1 further changed attitudes as women took over jobs left by men fighting overseas, undermining the idea that women were not responsible. As women demonstrated their capabilities through work, politics, and supporting the war effort, and as more men gained the right to vote, it increased support for women to also gain suffrage. However, many working women who had long been part of the industrial revolution did not get the right to vote when it was first extended to women.
The women's suffrage movement in UK
The document discusses the suffrage movement in Great Britain. While women paid taxes, they did not have the right to vote. Some argued that even prisoners and "lunatics" could vote, so why not women? However, many opposed women's suffrage, viewing women as too emotional for politics. Early campaigners called suffragists used peaceful tactics, but faced opposition from political parties. This frustration led to more radical suffragettes, who used violence and vandalism. Though some bills were proposed, none passed. Suffragettes escalated their campaign with bombs and arson, leading to arrests. Hunger strikes in prison won sympathy. World War I suspended campaigns, but awareness was raised, hastening women's
Women and the vote - timeline of changes
Women in Britain were excluded from national politics until 1918 and could not vote or stand for election. Starting in the early 1800s, several petitions and campaign groups were formed to advocate for women's suffrage. In the early 1900s, suffragette protests grew more prominent, including marches. Some women gained limited local voting rights in the late 1800s. Several bills attempting to grant women the right to vote nationally failed prior to World War 1. After the war ended in 1918, some women over 30 who owned property or were married to an owner gained the right to vote, which was expanded to all women over 21 in 1928. Women were then also allowed to stand for election with the first female MPs elected in 1918.
Why did women not have the vote?
Before women could vote, many argued they were too emotional or that their role was only in the home. Opponents claimed women did not need to vote as their husbands could influence elections. Some MPs argued women would wear large hats that obstructed views or were too impressionable. However, many women wanted equal treatment and believed voting would help them gain more control over their lives and influence policies around issues like poverty they faced. Support for women's suffrage grew as more saw voting as a way to participate in class-based politics.

The document discusses Uses and Gratifications Theory, which focuses on how audiences actively seek out media to fulfill certain needs and integrate it into their daily lives. Specifically, the theory posits that people use media like magazines to gain confidence in social situations by learning facts about current events and having things to discuss. Magazines provide diversion and allow readers to feel immersed in music culture through exclusive interviews and photos of artists, keeping readers engaged through personal questions.

Women and the vote - The Suffragists
The National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (the Suffragists), led by Millicent Fawcett, was established in 1897 to campaign peacefully for women's right to vote. They organized petitions, letter-writing campaigns, and marches to persuade MPs. They also supported the Labour Party and suspended their campaign during World War 1 to support the war effort. While their peaceful protests showed women could be responsible citizens, the rise of the more radical Suffragettes showed the limitations of the Suffragists' campaign as it had failed to achieve the vote by the 1900s despite decades of efforts by various women's suffrage groups.
An inferance on media (jmc)
The document discusses the role and performance of media in society. It notes that media acts as a mirror of society and vice versa, watching over political democracy by informing, educating, and entertaining the public on important issues and events. However, media is also accused of sensationalizing stories and events for profits and ratings, compromising reliability. The document concludes by highlighting media's potential roles in informing people of government plans, motivating purposeful action, and acting as an independent watchdog through accurate, honest and sensitive reporting.
Suffragettes
The document summarizes the history of the feminist movement through its three waves. The first wave from the 18th to early 20th century fought for women's right to vote. The second wave from the 1960s to 1980s battled for social, cultural, and gender equality. The third wave from the 1990s to today responds to the failures of previous waves and campaigns for greater women's political influence. It then focuses on the Suffragettes movement in the UK led by Emmeline Pankhurst that used militant tactics like vandalism and hunger strikes to fight for women's suffrage, or right to vote.
Women and the vote - Other countries' influence
Several countries that were part of the British Empire, including New Zealand, Australia, and some areas of Canada, granted women the right to vote before Britain did in 1918. British suffragettes were aware of and inspired by campaigns for women's suffrage in other countries. Emmeline Pankhurst traveled to the US to raise funds for the British suffrage movement, while Kate Shepherd of New Zealand met with British suffrage leaders to discuss campaign strategies. However, the influence of other countries on Britain's decision was limited, as many countries granted women's suffrage later, and Britain imposed age restrictions not seen elsewhere.
The Suffragists
The Suffragists were a pressure group formed in 1897 called the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) led by Millicent Fawcett. They used peaceful protest methods like petitions, newspaper publications, and large processions to campaign for women's right to vote. Their membership grew from 13,000 in 1909 to over 100,000 by 1913 as they worked to gain support from politicians and political parties. While they had some successes in raising awareness, their peaceful tactics proved insufficient to change the law, and women did not gain the right to vote until after World War I.

Reasons for British democratic changes - pressure groups
Various groups in the 1800s campaigned for democratic reform in Britain, such as extended voting rights. The Chartists, Reform League, and National Reform Union used peaceful protests to advocate for changes like granting men the right to vote and paying Members of Parliament. However, sometimes these groups engaged in riots, which allowed the government to ignore their demands. Additionally, they did not focus on obtaining voting rights for women, so their influence on a truly democratic Britain was limited. Separately, women's suffrage groups like the Suffragettes and Suffragists advocated for women's right to vote in the early 1900s, though the Suffragettes employed more extreme violent tactics which may have undermined their goal.
Newspapers and social media
Tabloids like The Sun aim their content at working class audiences and focus on popular culture topics like celebrities and entertainment. They use social media like Twitter to engage audiences and share gossip and cultural stories. In contrast, broadsheets like The Guardian target upper class readers and focus on hard news topics like politics and economics alongside cultural reviews. They use social media for further discussion of stories in their papers and to report on international news. Both types of publications leverage social media to educate audiences and spark conversation on trending topics.

It describes the increasing militant tactics used by British suffragettes from 1906-1914 and how American and British women's roles differed during World War I. Finally, it notes that American women gained the right to vote in 1920 with the 19th amendment while British women had to wait until 1918 and 1928 to vote.
Test Powerpoint
The document discusses the reasons why some women received the right to vote in 1918 in the UK. It argues that the militant Suffragette campaign, which used disruptive tactics like hunger strikes, was influential in raising the issue, though their methods also faced criticism. Meanwhile, the peaceful Suffragist movement and women's contributions during World War 1 also helped shift views. Ultimately, changing social attitudes gave women a stronger role and stake in society that empowered both campaigns in the fight for suffrage.

Era of the Great War - The Suffragists
The document discusses the campaigns of the Suffragists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to win women the right to vote in Britain. It describes how the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies was formed in 1897 to lead the campaign using peaceful methods like producing newspapers, organizing marches and petitions, and speaking with MPs. While some believe the Suffragists' peaceful tactics proved women were responsible and encouraged MPs to support voting rights, others criticize that these methods were easy for the government to ignore, and that it took too long for women to achieve suffrage through this approach alone.
Era of the Great War - women's suffrage campaigns
There were two main groups campaigning for women's suffrage in the UK before 1918: the Suffragists and the Suffragettes. The Suffragists used peaceful methods like marches, petitions, and lobbying MPs while the Suffragettes engaged in more violent direct actions like arson, bombing, and hunger strikes to force the issue. Both groups suspended campaigning during WWI but the Suffragettes' militant tactics generated more publicity and debate even as it lost them some support. In 1918 and 1928 acts were passed granting some women and then all women over 21 the right to vote.
916 - Suffragettes revision
The document provides background information and tasks related to teaching students about the women's suffrage movement in Britain. It discusses the work of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) and the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) in fighting for women's right to vote. Students are instructed to create flashcards, spider diagrams, quizzes and flowcharts about key events and organizations in the suffrage movement to help them understand how women were eventually granted the right to vote in Britain in 1918 and 1928.
Why did women get the vote
Women gained the right to vote in the UK in 1928 due to changing social attitudes towards women's roles and abilities, pressure from suffrage groups using both peaceful and violent tactics, women's contributions during World War 1, and other countries granting women's suffrage. Key factors included women entering the workforce in increasing numbers, the suspension of militant suffragette campaigns during the war to support the war effort, political motivations within the Liberal party to undermine the rising Labour party, and other British dominions granting women the vote earlier. However, the path to women's suffrage was gradual and not all women received equal voting rights in 1918.

Both groups suspended campaigning during WWI but the Suffragettes' militant tactics generated more publicity and debate even as it lost them some support. In 1918 and 1928 acts were passed granting some women and then all women over 21 the right to vote.
916 - Suffragettes revision
The document provides background information and tasks related to teaching students about the women's suffrage movement in Britain. It discusses the work of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) and the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) in fighting for women's right to vote. Students are instructed to create flashcards, spider diagrams, quizzes and flowcharts about key events and organizations in the suffrage movement to help them understand how women were eventually granted the right to vote in Britain in 1918 and 1928.
Why did women get the vote
Women gained the right to vote in the UK in 1928 due to changing social attitudes towards women's roles and abilities, pressure from suffrage groups using both peaceful and violent tactics, women's contributions during World War 1, and other countries granting women's suffrage. Key factors included women entering the workforce in increasing numbers, the suspension of militant suffragette campaigns during the war to support the war effort, political motivations within the Liberal party to undermine the rising Labour party, and other British dominions granting women the vote earlier. However, the path to women's suffrage was gradual and not all women received equal voting rights in 1918.
Defining feminism
Feminism refers broadly to the doctrine advocating equal social, political, and other rights for women as men. It describes both a philosophy and a cultural/political movement. In its narrow political sense, feminism is the struggle to achieve institutional and economic equality between the sexes. In the late 19th century, women had fewer rights and opportunities than men. They were excluded from many professions and politics. Progress was made in the late 19th century through better education and some legal reforms, but the right to vote in all elections, or suffrage, was still denied to women. This led to the emergence of suffrage movements advocating for women's right to vote.
914 - Publicity
This document discusses various methods used by suffragettes to gain publicity for their cause of women's suffrage. It provides images and descriptions of 6 different methods: chaining themselves to railings, publishing their own newspaper, using banners, organizing large processions, arranging photo opportunities, and chalking messages on sidewalks. For each method, it poses questions to prompt analysis of how the method helped increase publicity. The document instructs students to choose two sources to analyze in writing, addressing advantages and disadvantages of photographs to historians and how values of sources may be affected by suffragette supporters taking the photos. It concludes with assigning homework to write a fictional newspaper article or account of a recent suffragette publicity stunt.
Era of the Great War - The Suffragettes
The document discusses the Suffragette movement in the early 20th century. Led by Emmeline Pankhurst, the Suffragettes believed in direct and sometimes violent action to campaign for women's right to vote. Their tactics included property damage, arson, and attacks on politicians. These extreme actions generated publicity but also lost them support. While some argue the Suffragettes' militancy was crucial to gaining women's suffrage, others believe their violence had the opposite effect.
Gender movements
The document provides an overview of important gender and women's rights movements throughout history from 1869 to 1979. Some of the key movements discussed include the women's suffrage movement in the US in 1869, the reproductive rights movement in 1870, women's movements in Turkey in 1908 and India in 1917, women's liberation in Italy in 1943, women's suffrage movement in Japan in 1945, the founding of UNICEF in 1946, and the feminist movement in the US in 1964. Many of these movements aimed to fight discrimination, achieve equal rights, and empower women in their respective societies.

Suffragettes were early 20th century British women who fought for the right to vote through the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). Led by Emmeline Pankhurst, the WSPU used direct action tactics like heckling politicians, hunger strikes, and property damage. Their tactics became more militant over time and caused controversy. Though internally divided, their campaigning contributed to women gaining the right to vote in the UK in 1918 and 1928.

Americans' attitudes towards immigration changed in the 1920s due to growing social and economic fears. There was a fear of revolution from communist and anarchist ideas spreading among immigrants. Isolationist sentiments increased after World War I, with many Americans wanting to limit foreign influence. Prejudice against new southern and eastern European immigrants fueled perceptions that they were unable or unwilling to assimilate and were threatening traditional American values and jobs. However, the changing attitudes also reflected exploitation of existing prejudices for economic gain rather than immigrants themselves being entirely to blame.

Socialism began developing in the early 19th century in response to the rise of industrial capitalism and exploitation of workers. It aims to create a fair and equal society through common ownership and cooperation. The most influential early socialists were Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, who argued that socialism would be achieved through worker revolution against capitalism. Vladimir Lenin also played a key role in establishing the Soviet Union based on socialist principles.

This document discusses different aspects of conservatism including neo-liberalism, Margaret Thatcher, and the concept of an organic society. Neo-liberalism advocates for minimal government intervention, free market economics, and individual responsibility. Margaret Thatcher implemented neo-liberal policies as prime minister and believed the free market could solve issues like unemployment. Conservatives view society as organically formed by shared traditions and values, rather than something constructed, and emphasize traditional social institutions.
Conservatism
Disraeli believed the rich had obligations to the poor, and promoted the idea that privileged elites should care for the less fortunate. According to Boris Johnson, a "one nation Tory" believes in uniting society and spreading opportunity to everyone. Leaders like Disraeli and Johnson promote themselves as "One Nation Conservatives" because it allows them to enact some social reforms and policies that benefit poorer citizens, in order to promote greater social stability and reduce the risk of revolution from below. By appearing to care about inequality, they aim to integrate poorer groups into the existing social and political hierarchy.

The document provides background information on immigration to the United States in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when millions of Europeans immigrated seeking opportunity. It then discusses five factors that led Americans to change their attitudes towards immigrants in the 1920s: isolationism, fear of revolution, prejudice and racism, economic and social fears, and the effects of World War I. Each factor is explained with examples of how it contributed to more negative views of immigrants. The document aims to help students understand and analyze the reasons for shifting immigration policies in that era.

Direct democracy and representative democracy each have benefits and drawbacks when it comes to citizen participation and decision-making. Direct democracy allows for more direct citizen control and involvement in government through regular voting on issues, as was seen with Scotland's 2014 independence referendum. However, direct democracy is largely seen as impractical for modern states except in small communities. Representative democracy is a more indirect but manageable system where citizens elect representatives to make decisions, as is the case in the UK. While this can reduce direct participation, it allows for specialization and more stable governance. Political theorists like Rousseau supported more direct democracy, while others like Schumpeter felt representative democracy a workable compromise between participation and expertise in governance.

Scots made significant contributions to their new home countries through agriculture, mining, engineering, education and business. They helped develop farming industries like sheep farming in Australia and New Zealand. Scots also played major roles in mining gold in California and developing industries like shipbuilding. Individual Scots like Andrew Carnegie, John Muir, and politicians like John Alexander MacDonald made large impacts. Scots maintained aspects of their culture through Caledonian societies and place names. Their skills, work ethic, education and entrepreneurship helped them succeed abroad, though some Scots were unhappy and returned home.

This document discusses the push and pull factors of Scottish emigration between 1830-1939. The main push factors from the Lowlands were poverty, lack of jobs, decline of heavy industry, roles in the army, and changes in technology. The main push factors from the Highlands were the Highland Clearances and the failure of the potato crop. The main pull factors were improvements in transportation, assistance for relocation, family connections abroad, missionary work, economic opportunities, encouragement from Scottish communities overseas, and the prospect of wealth.

The document summarizes the experiences of Irish and Lithuanian immigrants to Scotland from the 1830s to 1939. It discusses the jobs immigrants held, their poor living conditions in crowded cities, cultural and religious tensions, and how attitudes changed over time as immigrants integrated more into Scottish society and fought for better working conditions. While initially facing hostility, later generations of immigrants were accepted as they married Scots, joined unions, and were seen as valuable workers important to Scotland's economic growth.

Here is a 4 mark response describing the impact the Empire had on Scotland between 1830 and 1939:
The British Empire had both positive and negative impacts on Scotland during this period. Positively, it brought wealth and prosperity through trade. Scottish firms profited greatly by supplying goods like textiles, ships and engineering equipment to colonies. This boosted the economy and created many jobs. However, the Empire also exploited workers and resources in colonies. Scotland benefited from this wealth even as people and lands overseas suffered under British rule. On balance, while the Empire enriched some Scottish firms and industries, it did so through exploiting subject peoples and their lands.

The document provides information and guidance for students on an essay about the reasons for the end of the Cold War. It includes background context on the Cold War and when it ended. It lists several factors that could have contributed to the end of the Cold War and provides model paragraphs analyzing reasons like the Soviet defeat in Afghanistan, the failure of communism in Eastern Europe, and the roles of Gorbachev and Reagan. The document aims to help students structure a planned, evidenced essay analyzing the factors and determining which were the most important reasons for the Cold War's conclusion.
e
One reason for the end of the Cold War was the failure of communism in Eastern Europe. Protests and demonstrations in countries like Poland and East Germany undermined Soviet control over the satellite states. When Soviet leaders refused to use military force to crush the unrest, it marked the beginning of the end for communist rule in Eastern Europe and removed a key ideological difference between East and West that had defined the Cold War. This development put pressure on Soviet leaders to allow more freedom and democracy and ultimately led to the demise of the Soviet Union itself.

Source A reveals that some Scots emigrated abroad due to opportunities provided by the Empire Settlement Act, which subsidized passage to places like Canada and offered training. It also notes that some left Scotland to escape unemployment after WWI or pursue opportunities for independent land ownership abroad.
Source B describes how landowners in Scotland forced tenant farmers, or crofters, off their land by turning to more profitable sheep farming. As a result, landowners encouraged emigration to remove the excess population and make their estates profitable, in some cases even paying passage costs.
However, the sources do not mention other factors like agents being sent from countries like Canada to recruit Scots immigrants by promoting opportunities available abroad.

Being part of the British Empire had significant impacts on Scotland's economy, people, and military. The economy benefited from jobs in factories producing goods for export throughout the Empire. Glasgow shipyards built vessels for global trade. Many Scots emigrated to seek opportunities in Canada and Australia while others immigrated to Scotland. Scots also played a major role in Britain's military, joining the armed forces and rising to leadership positions to defend Imperial interests around the world.

Immigration to Scotland in the 19th and early 20th centuries significantly impacted Scottish culture. Immigrants introduced new foods like Italian dishes, influenced fashion through jobs in barbering and tailoring, and changed the landscape of sports with Irish-founded football clubs. Immigration also diversified names and religious practices in Scotland as Catholic and Jewish places of worship were built. The influx of Irish Catholic immigrants prompted the establishment of their own schools and social clubs to maintain their culture in Scotland.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Suffragists
- 1. National 5 History: Era of the Great War The Suffragists
- 2. Today’s lesson We are consolidating our knowledge and understanding of the role of the Suffragists to the campaign for women’s suffrage By the end of today’s lesson I should be able to: 1) Describe the campaign action used by the Suffragists. 2) Analyse the impact of the Suffragist Campaigns Today’s lesson involves: Note taking Historiography task
- 3. The Suffragists The National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies was formed in 1897. It was a merger or groups that had been campaigning for women to get the vote since the 1860’s. They later became known as the Suffragists they were led by Millicent Fawcett. Do you think it is better to protest peacefully or violently?
- 4. Methods used by the Suffragists The Suffragists used a variety of peaceful campaign methods to win backing for their campaign. They produced leaflets, newspapers, took part in marches, started petitions and spoke directly to MPs. One example of a march was a huge march in Edinburgh in 1909.
- 5. Methods used by the Suffragists The Suffragists also got involved in party political actions. They supported the Labour Party’s ‘Votes for all’ campaign. They also helped campaigned against MPs that were opposed to giving women the right to vote. Suffragists also targeted political leaders, for example they targeted Winston Churchill during an election campaign in Dundee. He is said to have hidden in a shed to escape them. (Sound familiar?)
- 6. Task 2 – Notes Take two new columns in your jotter titled: Reasons why the Suffragists helped the women’s suffrage movement Reasons why the Suffragists did not help the women’s suffrage movement.
- 7. Opinion 1 – ‘The Suffragists helped the women’s suffrage movement’. The Suffragists used peaceful protest methods such as marching which proved that women can be responsible so they can encourage MPs they are responsible enough to get the vote. The contact with MPs and the Labour Party was also successful as they let women’s voices be heard in Parliament through suffrage-supporting MPs. In addition, by working with the Labour Party they put pressure on their main competitors the Liberal Party (Who were in Government) to listen to make sure they did not lose votes.
- 8. Opinion 2- ‘The Suffragists did not help the women’s suffrage movement’ The Suffragists although were peaceful and respectable did not make much a difference to the women’s suffrage movement. The Suffragists were formed in the 1860’s at the earliest so many were tired that it had taken so long for women to get the vote leading them to be enticed to take more radical measures used by the Suffragettes. The peaceful methods used by the Suffragists were not headline grabbing so as a result the Government often ignored them, showing that they were not influential in changing people’s minds on women’s suffrage.
- 9. National 5 Question Describe the different tactics used by the Suffragist movement – 5 marks
