  • Item Captions Teachers Guide
    SUFFRAGE IN A BOX: ITEM CAPTIONS TEACHERS GUIDE 1 1 The Polling Station. (Publisher: Suffrage Atelier). 1 Suffrage campaigners were experts in creating powerful propaganda images which expressed their sense of injustice. This image shows the whole range of women being kept out of the polling station by the law and authority represented by the policeman. These include musicians, clerical workers, mothers, university graduates, nurses, mayors, and artists. The men include gentlemen, manual workers, and agricultural labourers. This hints at the class hierarchies and tensions which were so important in British society at this time, and which also influenced the suffrage movement. All the women are represented as gracious and dignified, in contrast to the men, who are slouching and casual. This image was produced by the Suffrage Atelier, which brought together artists to create pictures which could be quickly and easily reproduced. ©Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford: John Johnson Collection; Postcards 12 (385) Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford John Johnson Collection; Postcards 12 (385) 2 The late Miss E.W. Davison (1913). Emily Wilding Davison is best known as the suffragette who 2 died after being trampled by the King’s horse on Derby Day, but as this photo shows, there was much more to her story. She studied at Royal Holloway College in London and St Hugh’s College Oxford, but left her job as a teacher to become a full- time suffragette. She was one of the most committed militants, who famously hid in a cupboard in the House of Commons on census night, 1911, so that she could give this as her address, and was the first woman to begin setting fire to post boxes.

    MAKING COMMON CAUSE?: WESTERN AND MIDDLE EASTERN FEMINISTS IN THE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S MOVEMENT, 1911-1948 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Charlotte E. Weber, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Leila J. Rupp, Adviser Professor Susan M. Hartmann _________________________ Adviser Professor Ellen Fleischmann Department of History ABSTRACT This dissertation exposes important junctures between feminism, imperialism, and orientalism by investigating the encounter between Western and Middle Eastern feminists in the first-wave international women’s movement. I focus primarily on the International Alliance of Women for Suffrage and Equal Citizenship, and to a lesser extent, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. By examining the interaction and exchanges among Western and Middle Eastern women (at conferences and through international visits, newsletters and other correspondence), as well as their representations of “East” and “West,” this study reveals the conditions of and constraints on the potential for feminist solidarity across national, cultural, and religious boundaries. In addition to challenging the notion that feminism in the Middle East was “imposed” from outside, it also complicates conventional wisdom about the failure of the first-wave international women’s movement to accommodate difference. Influenced by growing ethos of cultural internationalism

  • Chrystal Macmillan from Edinburgh Woman to Global Citizen
    Chrystal Macmillan From Edinburgh Woman to Global Citizen di Helen Kay * Abstract : What inspired a rich well-educated Edinburgh woman to become a suffragist and peace activist? This paper explores the connection between feminism and pacifism through the private and published writings of Chrystal Macmillan during the first half of the 20 th century. Throughout her life, Chrystal Macmillan was conscious of a necessary connection between the gendered nature of the struggle for full citizenship and women’s work for the peaceful resolution of international disputes. In 1915, during World War One, she joined a small group of women to organise an International Congress of Women at The Hague to talk about the sufferings caused by war, to analyse the causes of war and to suggest how war could be avoided in future. Drawing on the archives of women’s international organisations, the article assesses the implications and relevance of her work for women today. Do we know what inspired a rich well-educated Edinburgh woman to become a suffragist and peace activist in the early part of the 20 th century? Miss Chrystal Macmillan was a passionate campaigner for women’s suffrage, initially in her native land of Scotland but gradually her work reached out to women at European and international levels. She wrote, she campaigned, she took part in public debates, she lobbied, she organised conferences in Great Britain and in Europe: in all, she spent her life working for political and economic liberty for women. In all her work and writing, she was opposed to the use of force and was committed, almost to the point of obsession, to pursuing the legal means to achieve political ends.

  • 1 Primary Source Extracts Marion Reid
    PRIMARY SOURCE EXTRACTS MARION REID (1815-1902) Reid published her ‘Plea for Women’ shortly after attending the World Anti- Slavery Convention in London in 1840. It was probably the first work in Britain or the USA to give priority to achieving civil and political rights for women. Mrs Hugo [Marion] Reid, A Plea for Woman: being a vindication of the importance and extent of her natural sphere of action; with remarks on recent works on the subject (Edinburgh: William Tait; London: Simpkin, Marshall & Co; Dublin: John Cumming, 1843) Chapter V. Woman’s Claim to Equal Rights “To see one half of the human race excluded by the other from all participation of government, is a political phenomenon which, according to abstract principles, it is impossible to explain” – Talleyrand ... The ground on which equality is claimed for all men is of equal force for all women; for women share the common nature of humanity, and are possessed of all those noble faculties which constitute man a responsible being, and give him a claim to be his own ruler, so far as is consistent with order, and the possession of the like degree of sovereignty over himself by every other human being. It is the possession of the noble faculties of reason and conscience which elevates man above the brutes, and invests him with this right of exercising supreme authority over himself. It is more especially the possession of an inward rule of rectitude, a law written on the heart in indelible characters, which raises him to this high dignity, and renders him an accountable being, by impressing him with the conviction that there are certain duties which he owes to his fellow-creatures.

  • The Inter-American Commission of Women: a New International Venture
    The Inter-American Commission of Women: A New International Venture By MUNA LEE Few international questions present such conflicting and perplexing aspects as that of the nationality of women. It is a modern question, because only within the last generation or so have women, generally speaking, begun to travel widely and carry on diverse activities in a complex and ever-changing world. Women might lose their nationality fifty years ago, as indeed they did often, without ever becoming aware of the fact. Not only were they less likely to leave their own country, but they were less likely to marry foreigners. Now they have been forced into a rude awareness of the completely chaotic conditions of existing nationality laws. A woman may find herself possessing several nationalities or none! In some countries, a married woman takes the nationality of her husband in all cases. Sometimes, she loses her nationality on marrying a foreigner, providing that her husband’s country gives her her nationality. Again, she loses it only if she goes to her husband’s country to live, and if that country gives her his nationality. In other countries, the law works both ways: a native woman who marries a foreigner takes his nationality; a foreign woman who marries a native man takes his nationality. But in still others the law works only one way. In other cases, which give rise to lamentable and even tragic situations, a woman has no nationality. An Englishwoman, for example, married to an Argentine, ceases to enjoy British nationality according to British law, but does not become Argentine by Argentine law; she is cast off by her own country and not accepted by her husband’s.
