How Successful Was The Suffragettes Movement

The Suffragette Movement
By: Gurav Vats of 9TOM

This is an essay on the Suffragette Movement and the rights of women in countries around the world, the question that will be focused on in this report is, ‘Did the Suffragettes succeed in obtaining their motive?’ This question is important because it is important because the actions of the Suffragettes affected the mentality of oppressed women around the world. In this this report I will be writing about these for things: 1. who the Suffragettes were? 2. What methods did they use to achieve their goal? 3. What effect did their actions have on the government and public of their nation? 4. What are the rights of women in India? During the late 1900’s Britain was undergoing a tremendous transformation
I think that the Suffragettes were successful because 1. They managed to raise an awareness throughout the nation, and later throughout the world that women may be treated unequally in your respective nations and this did turn out true. 2.

Through their movement Britain did benefit because of the fact that they now had more workers that could work in the factories that were now being built almost every day, these extra workers also helped them during later year such as during World War Two, where the majority of workers working in the plane and weapon factories were women. On the other hand I also think that the Suffragettes failed partially because 1. They did take the lives of some innocent people, who didn’t have any fault, an example of this are some of the younger family members of politicians that were killed or injured grievously during the increasingly violent protests. 2. Though they did secure some rights for women they did not manage to secure any other rights soon enough because even today some countries in the world are still man dominated and don’t give many rights to women at all (more on this in the later section). 3. Some of their ways of protesting were too aggressive and rebellious to the point that sometimes they were no better that the government who laid down the unfair laws, an example of this are the times when they hurt the families of others around the purely to
