in the 19th century women wear more like house maids, like property of their husbands and were known to be cookers, cleaners and taking care of her children. Women created an organisation called the suffragists which started non violent protests to gain the right to vote and get divorces etc. When this didn’t work another group of women created the suffragettes who were a group of women who violently protested like setting mailboxes on fire. Eventually women started starving themselves until they would get what they wanted which resulted in imprisonment where they caused them life time damage, making them irepairably ill. This gained them sympathy but they still didn’t get the vote, that was when there became marters for the cause and Emmaline Pankhurst jumped over the railing at a national horse race when a man of high authority’s horse passed some believe that she was attempting to stick on a piece of cloth with the suffragettes logo on so it would be seen when it crossed the finish line but we’ll never know because she got trampled by the horse and died later. However this didn’t work, not getting force fed through their noses and throats and not even dying. But after all women’s service in WW1 were they did all the men’s jobs and sacrificed their health to provide food for the men and the government were relieved with the hold of the suffragette movement they gave them the vote and right to vote although the circumstances weren’t the best they started there.
