London suffragettes

The London suffragettes were women's rights activists in the early 20th century who campaigned for women's suffrage—the right to vote in elections. They were part of a broader movement across the UK, advocating for greater equality. Employing militant tactics like protests, marches, and civil disobedience, the suffragettes sought to draw attention to their cause, often facing hardship and imprisonment. Their efforts were crucial in raising public awareness and ultimately led to the Representation of the People Act 1918, which granted voting rights to women over 30 in the UK. Their struggle symbolizes the fight for gender equality.
