Militant suffragette

Militant suffragettes were women in the early 20th century who actively campaigned for women's right to vote, often using radical and confrontational methods. Unlike more peaceful suffragists, militant suffragettes, such as those from the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the UK, employed tactics like protests, hunger strikes, and even vandalism to draw attention to their cause. Their actions were driven by frustration over the slow progress of the suffrage movement and aimed to challenge societal norms. They played a crucial role in raising awareness and ultimately influencing changes that granted women the right to vote.
