Why was it important for a women to get the right to vote?

Answer 2

Because their lifes had been ruled by men. They wanted some independence to show the men that they could do things for themselves. If they had the right to vote they could make laws that helped them not just the men. It could become a blance of genderes because both genderes had different views, If you want to see Who were the people who did votes for women: the answer basiclly says;; Suffragette's protested violently and threw bricks at churches, burnt down houses and stuffs.

Answer 3

They wanted to get the right to vote. The suffragists were a group of women who believed in campaigning peacefully for the right to vote. They felt that they could build support and respect for their cause through discussion, petition and decorum (proper and dignified behavior). Various women's groups who supported female suffrage joined an organisation called the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS).

Some women believed that the suffragist campaign was not working. They felt that more direct action was needed to make people sit up and take notice.

These women broke away from the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) and formed the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). They adopted much more militant techniques, which certainly kept their campaign in the public eye. However, it also stirred up opposition to their cause.

Many members of the general public were shocked at the behaviour of WSPU members. regarding their campaign as 'unwomanly' . The 'Daily Mail' newspaper nicknamed them the 'suffragettes', which was seen as a more belittling term.

Many of the sources on this site were taken from the collections of Janie Allen, an active suffragette from Glasgow.
