The Ways in Which the Methods of the Suffragists and the Suffragettes Were Different
Women wanted suffrage and equality to men. In an attempt to gain votes
for women, two protest groups called the Suffragists and the
Suffragettes were formed to try and change the law so women could vote
and work in higher paying, more important jobs. Both groups wanted
suffrage but on slightly different terms.
The Suffragists took less radical approach and did not use violence,
however some women felt as though they were getting nowhere with this
passive protesting and formed the Suffragettes, who were extremely
militant. Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenny were the first to get
arrested for their militant actions. The two suffragettes began to
shout at Churchill during a Liberal Party election on 13th October
1905, when he refused to answer their questions; they were thrown out
and spent the night a few nights in jail after refusing to pay a fine
for their actions. Churchill attempted to pay the fines at Strangeways
Jail but the governor refused to accept the money; for the
suffragettes this was an excellent way to attract attention. The
Suffragettes were run like a dictatorship by Emmeline Pankhurst and
all orders were taken from her; the main branch was totally controlled
by her, but the local branches had more freedom. The Suffragettes
began to include votes for working class women in their protests. The
Suffragists did not want to be linked to any single party, however the
newly formed Labour did support female suffrage up to the general
election 1906 when they began to fear if women had the vote the would
use it to vote conservative.
The Suffragettes and the Suffragists used similar tactics to persuade
the government to grant women's suffrage but the Suffragettes were
more militant. The Suffragetes would post themselves to 10 Downing
Street, chain themselves to rails, graffiti on the Houses of
Parliament, along with having fights with police. Many Suffragettes
were sent to prison for their militancy and often went of hunger

In the years after 1870 there were many reasons for the development of the women’s suffrage movement. The main reasons were changes in the law. Some affecting directly affecting women, and some not, but they all added to the momentum of Women’s campaign for the vote.
Women, like black slaves, were treated unequally from the male before the nineteenth century. The role of the women played the part of their description, physically and emotionally weak, which during this time period all women did was took care of their household and husband, and followed their orders. Women were classified as the “weaker sex” or below the standards of men in the early part of the century. Soon after the decades unfolded, women gradually surfaced to breathe the air of freedom and self determination, when they were given specific freedoms such as the opportunity for an education, their voting rights, ownership of property, and being employed.
People are marching in the streets, some holding signs, reading slogans that help defend the rights of the discriminated. This happened in both the African American Civil Rights Movement and in the Women’s Liberation movement. Two movements, one cause; to get equal rights. In the African American’s case, they were discriminated against due to their race. They were oppressed by the Jim Crow laws that were molding a unequal lifestyle for the blacks. Women’s Liberation, however, was about women who were forced to stay at home, because that is where people thought they belonged. Women were also granted unfair wages as compared to men. African Americans and Women were both fighting to get equal rights, which creates similarities and differences

During that stage of his life, in the late 1940s, he was known as "Detroit Red," and ran with a fast crowd - including white women who joined him for sex and burglaries. Arrested and convicted, he was sentenced to prison; the movie quotes him that he got one year for the burglaries and seven years for associating with white women while committing them, as so does the book. Prison was the best thing that happened to Red, who fell into the realm of the Black Muslim movement of Elijah Muhammad and learned self-respect.
The United States was in a period of social and political adjustment in the early 1800s. Reform movements during this time period aimed to increase public awareness about their issues and to create social and political change. Groups such as blacks and women continued to be oppressed, so they created The Abolitionist Movement and The Women’s Rights Movement respectively, which aimed to fight for the rights that political leaders in the 19th century neglected. In the 1800s, the democratic values that most reform movements planned to obtain were free voting and public education. Most reform movements in the United States sought to achieve core democratic values such as liberty in different ways. The Abolitionist Movement aimed to emancipate all
What does “movement” mean? There are many definitions for the word. In this case, I am referring to a political meaning. Movement is a series of organized activities working toward an objective. There have been many groups in history to start up movements throughout the decades. One that stands out to me the most is the Women’s Suffrage Movement. Women’s movements are led by powerful, courageous women who push to better the lives’ of women or lives’ of others. Most familiar movements are those involved in politics, in efforts to change the roles and status of womanhood in society. Groups of women also attempt to improve lives of others with the help of religious and charitable activities. Either it was a political, religious, or charitable women’s movement, each woman of each group have made an impact on today’s view of women and achieved greater political involvement.
Sometimes, in order to have justice in this world, violent actions need to be taken to be able to get a point across and fight for what is fundamentally right. In today’s society, feminism is viewed as a non-violent way of having the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes. However, it was not always like that. In order to have the level of equality modern societies have today, daring and sometimes violent things took place. A case in point being the Suffragette movement in the early 20th century. Over the years, the Suffragettes faced many challenges and winning feats such as being granted their right to vote federally, but their actions and the actions taken by one of their most successful groundbreakers, Thérèse Casgrain, are the reason why women can now be treated equally in Canadian society.

The women’s suffrage movement was the struggle for the right of women to vote, run for office, and is part of the overall women’s rights movement. In the 19th century, women in several countries most recognizably the U.S. and england formed organizations to fight for suffrage. Beginning in the mid 19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and participated in civil strike to achieve what many Americans considered a revolutionary change in the Constitution.
