Show transcript
The Suffragettes did lots of things to fight for women to be allowed to vote. They were militant: prepared to break the law and go to prison to accomplish this. Emily Davison was arrested lots of times for the things she did. She broke windows, set fire to postboxes and even threw stones at an important politician. In prison, Emily even stopped eating to try to show how important it was for women to be allowed to vote.
