What’s happening?
While the ‘suffragettes’ members of organisations such as the Women's Social and Political Union, were renowned for their militancy, the suffragists, those who campaigned for votes for women by permitted constitutional means, are usually not. Yet both wings of the women's campaign between 1866 and 1914, drew on the long tradition of English radicalism. This event explores not just how those demanding the parliamentary vote for women employed this radical tradition, but how they redefined and extended this, framing it as feminism, as they did so.
