Suffrage Session Information

This session is taught as a one-hour online session.

Online Session:

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

During the session

During this session we will use letters from our archives to ask is political violence 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.
