What did they do?
They marched through the streets. They used to paint VOTE FOR WOMEN on walls, and break shop
windows. Some women chained themselves to the railings outside Parliament and 10 Downing Street. They
had to be very courageous, because angry crowds came and threw tomatoes, eggs, and flour at them. Many
women went to prison. There they refused to eat, and so prison officers used rubber tubes to force food into
them.
The most shocking event was on Derby Day in June 1913. A suffragette called Emily Davison ran in
front of the King’s horse and was killed. She was the first martyr for the cause.
Gradually, opinion changed. Many membersof Parliament now wanted votes for women, but still
nothing happened. During the First World War, women had to do men’s jobs, and they did them well. It was
only after this that women aged thirty and over got the vote. Ten more years passed before, in 1928, women
of twenty-one could vote.
