About this event
She fought tirelessly for women to have the vote. She was imprisoned several times and often went on hunger strike. Having failed to make any impression on the male electorate and parliamentarians for nearly thirty years, she became a strong advocate of Direct Action.
The suffragettes threw stones at politicians, set fire to letter boxes, torched buildings, chained themselves to railings, and threw themselves under horses.
Although they were eventually successful, many suffragettes suffered terribly during the fight. Emmeline had her critics. Many people believed that if the suffragettes had been less confrontational, women would have been given the vote much earlier. They saw Emmeline as someone who had hindered the fight rather than helped it. But what was the truth?
Starring Liz Grand
