The Weaker Sex?

The article discusses terror campaigns associated with the militant wing of the organisation the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in Edwardian England and examines why such campaigns have been largely ignored by historians. It discusses the actions of suffragettes such as Kitty Marion and Emmeline Pankhurst, the concept of suffragette outrage, various threats against British political figures such as Winston Churchill and Lloyd George, and suffragette Mary Richardson's defacement of artwork at the London, England, National Gallery.
