Social and Political Union

The Social and Political Union (SPU) was a feminist organization founded in 1921 in the United Kingdom, aimed at advocating for women's rights, including suffrage, equality, and social reforms. It sought to address gender inequalities through activism, lobbying, and public awareness campaigns. The SPU played a significant role in promoting social justice for women, encouraging political participation, and challenging societal norms that limited women's freedoms. By organizing protests and engaging with policymakers, the organization helped advance the broader movement for gender equality in the early 20th century.
