Event: Senseless outrages against property: suffragette militancy and women’s right to vote, 13 July

9 July 2013

Did suffragette militancy help or hinder the women’s campaign for the right to vote? Was their arson and bombing campaign justified? And what relevance does the militants’ example have for feminist activists today? Join June Hannam, Professor Emeritus at the University of the West of England; Lois Bibbings, Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Bristol; Dawn Dyer of the Local Studies Team at Bristol Central Library; and local author Lucienne Boyce to discuss the effectiveness and ethics of suffragette militancy in the campaign for women’s right to vote.
