Suffrage Session Information

This session can be taught:  

• as a one-hour online session

If you would like to come to Palace Green Library for this session instead, please contact us for further details. 

Online Session:   

In this session, we use some letters from our Archives and Special Collections from Else Headlam-Morley who was a prominent suffragette.

Before the session: 

Your class will be asked to make notes for a brief discussion at the start of the session focusing on two sources from our archives. These present two very different views on women from the years before the woman’s suffrage movement. 

During the session: 

We will use letters from our archives to ask if political violence is justified and does it work? The sources will give a variety of views from different people revealing differing attitudes towards political violence. We will ask the class to draw their own conclusions.
