Fighting for

their Rights

At the end of the 19th century, the Suffragettes were fighting to change the law and give women the right to vote in the UK. Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Cristobel and Sylvia led the movement. Their middle-class position in society helped them make their voices and views heard. However, other women from less fortunate backgrounds also played a vital role in the fight: women like Alice Hawkins ...

VOTES FOR WOMEN

Born in 1863 to working class parents, Alice left school at 13 to work as a machinist in a shoe factory in the city of Leicester, England. 1 While still a young woman, Alice took her first steps as an activist by joining the trade union movement for fairer conditions in the workplace.

Over the years, Alice became disappointed with the union. She felt that it neglected women's rights and was much more focused on male workers, who were still regarded as the 'breadwinners' in society. So, in 1907, Alice travelled to London to attend her first meeting of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). On that same day, the group marched to the House of Commons to demand voting rights. 2 They arrested Alice and imprisoned her for the first time.

That first prison experience had a big impact on Alice. 3 In fact, she felt inspired to fight even harder for the cause by setting up a new branch of the WSPU in Leicester. She worked tirelessly with local shoe trade workers and would spend her Sundays cycling out to towns and villages to campaign for support. 4 Alice fought on. The highpoint of her campaigning years came in June 1908 when she spoke at a huge rally in Hyde Park, London. The day became known as 'Women's Sunday' and over 250,000 supporters attended. The event made national news and Alice was singled out by The Times newspaper as one of the most notable speakers that day.

The days of the British suffragette movement came to an abrupt halt when the nation turned its attention to the Great War of 1914. 5 In 1920, British women were given their right to vote. Alice continued working with the local trade union up until her death in 1946 at the age of 83. Even today the memory of brave 'Alice the Suffragette' lives on.

A But she had no regrets or thoughts of giving up the suffragette movement.

B During this time, Alice was arrested a total of five times because of her activism.

C But the cause of women like Alice had not been in vain.

D Alice soon discovered that the working conditions and wages women received were inferior to those of their male colleagues.

E But this dedicated woman never neglected her local community.

F Police on horseback charged the women.
