British suffragette

British suffragettes were women in the late 19th and early 20th centuries who fought for women's right to vote in the United Kingdom. They were part of the broader suffrage movement but were characterized by their more militant tactics, including protests, hunger strikes, and civil disobedience. Prominent groups, such as the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), aimed to raise awareness and push for legislative change. Their relentless efforts contributed to the eventual granting of voting rights to women over 30 in 1918, and equal voting rights with men in 1928.
