Suffragettes and Suffragists in Westminster

Tour dates and times:

Thursday - 29 August 2024 - 14:00

We have heard of the Suffragists and Suffragettes, find out what life was like for Victorians females, and how just a few strong minded women made such a massive impact on everybody’s lives forever. They achieved the impossible, sacrificed so much, but believed and opened doors that others did not think even existed.

Westminster is the perfect location for visually explaining the campaign for Votes for Women. Yes they resorted to various methods, not everyone would agree with, what were these methods and why did this happen?

Who were the women behind the campaign, what triggered their actions, and what were the consequences?
