I do not wish [women] to have power over men; but over themselves

Mary WollstonecraftIn Great Britain woman suffrage was first advocated by Mary Wollstonecraft in her book "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" (1792)

BACKGROUND_

Conditiond and rights of Women(19th century)

The stereotype of the Victorian gentle lady became unacceptable and even intolerable! Upper-class women could exert a little backstage political influence in high society. And...THE OTHERS RIGHTS?

Status

Child custody

Careers

Divorce

By the end of the nineteenth century, women had secured equality of status in most spheres – except of course for the VOTE and the holding of office.

BRITISH WOMEN'S VOTING RIGHTS

In Britain, in the 19th century women could not vote in PARLIAMENTARY elections. In 1894 only married women could vote in local ELECTIONS! Many women all over Europe had tried to defend their rights. In Scotland, England, France, and Ireland they often had the society, their families, politicians and the Press against them, portraying women in a very derogative and disrespectful way. Those rebels were called SUFFRAGETTES!

Why women wanted to vote (dare we ask)?

The WSPU (Women’s Social and Political Union)

The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) was a women-only political movement and leading militant organisation campaigning for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom from 1903 to 1918. The WSPU membership became known for civil disobedience and direct action. Group members heckled politicians, held demonstrations and marches, broke the law to force arrests, broke windows in prominent buildings and committed a series of arsons that killed at least five people and injured at least 24. Suffragettes was also the colloquial name of the women members of the WSPU.

WHO WERE THESE SUFFRAGETTES?

The word “suffragettes”, although with a French consonance actually originated from England in 1903, from the word SUFFRAGE (vote). _ Suffragettes often came from educated background, sometimes from aristocratic families but were joined on occasion by the working class. _ In the UK, they were seen as a potential threat and dealt with in a very dismissive and disrespectful manner, imprisoned and tortured by force feeding. This changed when women from all class backgrounds started to unite. There are a lot of famous suffraggettes. We can know something about:

THE MEN'S POINT OF VIEW

The majority of men opposed the idea of allowing women to vote, and anti-suffrage cartoons depicted suffragists as ugly, scolding shrews set on emasculating mankind. However, a number of leading male politicians and left-wing intellectuals supported the women's cause, and the Men's League for Women's Suffrage was founded in 1907. The Men’s Political Union for Women’s Enfranchisement was also founded in 1910, as a militant society - a male counterpart to the WSPU.

THE PRESS: In support or against the suffraggettes

In UK, what the Press or other publications had to say about it at the time? The fight for suffrage was an important movement for women, and the press proved valuable to the cause. Both male and female journalists wrote IN SUPPORT of suffrage and AGAINST IT. These publications strove to inform and to motivate and are a lasting testimony to those who spoke out for equality.

La Legge che riconosce il voto alle donne di più di 30 anni e a agli uomini maggiori di 21. E' una vittoria sicuramente importante, ma non completa..

DIRITTO DI VOTO ALLE DONNE ITALIA!

SUFFRAGETTE ITALIANE

NEL 1899 UN GRUPPO DI DONNE MILANESI, FONDANO L’UNIONE FEMMINILE. ERANO POCHE, APPENA UNA DECINA, MA ERANO DONNE NUOVE E PIONIERE, CHE PROGETTAVANO DI SFIDARE GLI SCHEMI PATRIARCALI CHE LE INCHIODAVANO A POSIZIONI PASSIVE E SUBALTERNE E DI COSTRUIRE DIRITTI PER CHI NE ERA SENZA.

DIRITTO DI VOTO ALLE DONNE MONDO!

La mappa dimostra quanto sia stato lungo e faticoso il percorso delle donne per ottenere il diritto di voto. C’è voluto più di un secolo perché nella quasi totalità dei paesi le donne raggiungessero l’uguaglianza politica e in alcuni stati si tratta di un risultato recente.
