Votes for Women: Suffrage Oral Histories

These videos of short audio clips and images of related suffrage materials from the Women’s Library focus on the role of the Pankhursts, The Women’s Social and Political Union and increased militancy from 1912-14. They are particularly suitable for A Level Edexcel History: Protest, agitation and parliamentary reform in Britain, c. 1780 – 1928, topic 3.6 The Women’s Social and Political Union, 1903-14.

They can also be used for the Votes for Women topic in Key Stage 3 History and the development of the political system of government in Key Stage 3 Citizenship. They could be used for the Equality and Rights module in GCSE History AQA & OCR. They could be used with younger students but please be aware of the description of violence and force feeding in some of the films.
