THE SUFFRAGETTES

Nowadays in the UK, women have the same rights as men, but that wasn't always the case before.
With fewer freedom and rights than men, in 1900 women were second-class citizens in Britain.
In the early 20th century, women still didn't have the same rights as men - they couldn't vote in elections and the vast majority could only get jobs as house servants.
The battle for equality lasted a long time - today marks over one hundred years of one of the most important days in that fight.
​
Watch this video and start learning about some women who fought for their right to vote: the suffragists and the suffragettes, The word ‘suffrage’ means having the right to vote in political elections. The suffragists and the suffragettes campaigned for women to have this right.
