Lunchtime Talk: Unbroken Spirits
Confronting Violence and Intimidation Towards Suffragettes - a lunchtime talk at the Pankhurst Museum
The image of the aggressive and intimidating suffragette was a common feature of anti-suffrage propaganda, and the idea of the suffragette bodyguards who learnt jiu-jitsu was (and still is) a source of fun. But, in truth, members of the WSPU were more often victims of aggression, facing intimidation, harassment and even violence throughout the suffragette campaign.
Join us for another lunchtime talk on Saturday 27th June to learn about the intimidation tactics used against suffragettes, from the start of the militant campaign in 1905 to the extremes of Black Friday in 1910. Find out about the complicity of the mob... and the people (women and men) who confronted and resisted the harassment of campaigners
