Britain, 1910. 300 women tried to enter the English Parliament to claim their rights. During the protest, the government desperately attempted to hide evidence of police brutality and physical attacks on the sulfragia, but it was in vain. For many of the women present, the use of extreme force against calm protesters was the last signal that something more had to be done.
Led by the Panhurst family, the Social and Political Union of Women ʹ sfragates -- carried out a bombing campaign and other attacks across the entire Great Britain, broadcast Periscope, which had never been seen before on the island. Women throughout Great Britain carried out attacks on MPs, their homes, churches, train stations and mail stations. They deeply believed that the only way to win the vote was to follow the violent steps of men. Some of them were also willing to die for the cause: Emily Davison jumped under the King's horse and died after a few days of being injured. Sufrages directed their attacks on various properties, not people.
Women over the age of 30 in Great Britain won the vote in 1918; women over the age of 21 did not win the vote until 1928. /Periscopi
