The Women's Freedom League

The Women's Freedom League was a British organization founded in 1907 that advocated for women’s suffrage and greater civil rights. It emerged from disagreements with the more militant Women's Social and Political Union, adopting a non-violent approach to campaigning for women’s voting rights. The league focused on peaceful protests, lobbying, and education to promote gender equality. It played a significant role in the broader suffrage movement in the UK, emphasizing democracy, women’s independence, and social reform, and continued its activism until women gained voting rights in 1928.
