It's often carefully forgotten that Women's Suffrage was not won in a wholly peaceable manner, but by using a combination of legal, electoral, disruptive, and violent methods. In the UK, some of the first women elected to public office were suffragists using a legal loophole, and the electoral history is generally well-known; but there were also mass protests, clashes with police, arrests, hunger strikes, and bombing and arson campaigns.
Give the girls the vote! No justice, no peace!
I appreciate you, OP, and I'm sure I speak on behalf of many here on Lemmy. Your posts are very enlightening. Thank you so much for all that you do.
I imagine you must be a history teacher, historian, or something to that effect. (No need to respond to that.)
Majored in History, but I've never done anything with it other than amuse myself and, in casual rather than professional fashion, amuse others. I'm always glad to get use out of it entertaining and maybe broadening the historical understanding a little of folks online!
Thank you for sharing, OP. Please keep doing what you're doing. I wish you could get compensated for this. You rock.
