SUFFRAGETTESNo women were allowed to vote before 1918. The suffragettes was the name given to the women who wanted to vote. The most famous suffragette was Emily Pankurst.

This is Emily Pankurst. She stood up for women’s rights for voting. She was very brave and strong. She thought it was unfair that no women voted, but men could .So she stood up for womens’ rights!

She was arrested a short time later but she still fought for women to vote and today they are allowed.
