About

At the turn of the 20th century, Votes for Women was one of the biggest domestic political issues of the day. Suffrage supporters, frustrated with the lack of progress, turned to increasingly militant methods. The government struggled to keep up with their innovative, evolving campaigns and in response, the Home Office created an index of arrested Suffragettes to keep tabs on the activities of individuals, record aliases and link convictions.

Join us to view the suffrage movement through the lens of this iconic record that challenges what we know about the Suffragettes.
