The suffragettes (The Women’s Social And Political Union)

The suffragettes were founded by Emmeline Pankhurst in 1903.the suffragettes wanted the vote for women so bad that they would do anything to get it.they would break windows chain themselves to the railings outside of Buckingham Palace and would interrupt the political meetings of MPs.they would march in the street aswell and also set fires to buildings. the suffragettes had a news paper called the suffragette.One of the suffragettes attacked winston churchill on a train.The suffragettes eventually won the vote for women in 1918.

The suffragists (The National Union Of Woman’s Suffrage)

The suffragists were founded by Milicent Fawcett in 1897.they were also trying to get the vote for women.but they were doing it using peaceful persuasive tacticts,the would hold public mettings and pitions and write letters asking for the vote.alough these methods were peaceful they werent getting noticed much like the suffragettes were.the tactics they were using to get the vote would have eventually worked but would of taken a long time
