- Title
PINNER'S SUFFRAGETTES.
- Authors
MacIver, Thamar
- Abstract
This is a detailed study of the members and activities of a local branch of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) which campaigned for women's suffrage between 1903 and 1917, becoming commonly known as 'the suffragettes' from 1906. It demonstrates how the national union was able to draw on such branches for funding and participation in demonstrations and activism. It emphasises the commitment of local members to the cause and shows how they were influenced by the long background of campaigning for women's rights. It sets the branch in its social context and highlights the support given to the women involved by sympathetic family members, including men, and by informal women's networks.
