Suffragette Movement Origins

Originating in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Suffragette Movement emerged as a pivotal force advocating for women’s right to vote and equality in society. The movement’s origins can be traced back to influential figures such as Emmeline Pankhurst, who founded the Women’s Social and Political Union in 1903.

Alongside her daughters Christabel and Sylvia, Emmeline played a crucial role in organizing protests and demonstrations to raise awareness and demand political change. Other notable figures like Millicent Fawcett, who led the more peaceful National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies, also contributed significantly to the cause.

These early activists paved the way for future generations of women to fight for their rights and challenge societal norms.
