  • A Corpus Linguistic Investigation Into the Media
    A CORPUS LINGUISTIC INVESTIGATION INTO THE MEDIA REPRESENTATION OF TilE SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT KA TIIERINE E. GUPTA, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2013 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk THESIS CONTAINS CD Abstract This thesis focuses on the representation of the women's suffrage movement in The Times newspaper between 1908 and 1914. I assemble two focused corpora from texts from News International's The Times Digital Archive: the 7 million word Suffrage corpus and the 400,000 word Letters to the Editor corpus. I then combine historical research into the suffrage movement, corpus linguistic analysis of social discourses and approaches drawn from critical discourse analysis. The suffrage movement was not a unified one; it was composed of various groups with differing backgrounds, ideologies and aims. Historians working with suffragist-produced texts have noted different terminology used to describe different factions of the movement. Less attention has been paid to how the suffrage movement was perceived by those outside the movement, and particularly how it was represented in the press. Central to this thesis is Deleuze and Guattari's (1987) argument that polyvocal, heterogeneous entities are simplified and erased by those in power. I demonstrate that such a simplification of diverse suffrage identities occurs on a lexical level through the consistent use of suffragist to describe all suffrage campaigners, including acts more commonly associated with suffragettes. This conflation of identities also occurred on a textual level through what I define as the 'suggestive placement' of texts within an article.

She may not be as well-known as Emily Davison or Emmeline Pankhurst but like them she was willing to cause harm to her health to get the vote. Elsie Howey was born in Finningley in 1884 and before she became a suffragette she studied languages at St. Andrew’s University. After leaving University Howey joined the Women’s Social and Political Union in 1907. Her first imprisonment happened when she was arrested for protesting outside the House of Commons. She was next imprisoned after she took part in a protest outside Herbert Asquith’s house and was sentenced to 3 months. On her release she and Vera Wentworth were met at the gates of Holloway Prison by 50 women and were driven in a carriage Elsie Howey. Image from Wikipedia (Public Domain). to Queen’s Hall.

  • The Suffragette Handkerchief
    THE SUFFRAGETTE HANDKERCHIEF at THE PRIEST HOUSE, WEST HOATHLY. THE PRIEST HOUSE, WEST HOATHLY. SUFFRAGETTE HANDKERCHIEF. HOLLOWAY PRISON, MARCH 1912. March 1912 saw the second wave of window-smashing demonstrations organised in London by the Women’s Social & Political Union (WSPU), when the militant campaign for women’s suffrage was at its peak. After the earlier demonstrations of November 1911, 223 women had been arrested for breaking the windows of shops in The Strand & of Government buildings in Whitehall. The March demonstrations were larger & better organised & timed to coincide with the discussion in Parliament of the Conciliation Bill that would have given the vote to about one million, mainly single, women. Militant feeling had been growing in the country & it became apparent that peaceful protests could never be successful. On the evening of Friday March 1 st , & again on the following Monday, WSPU supporters gathered in the shopping streets of the West End, Knightsbridge, Kensington & Chelsea. They were armed with hammers or stones & at a pre-arranged time they began smashing the windows of shops & offices. Once again over 200 women were arrested. Following the demonstrations the leaders of the WSPU, Emmeline Pankhurst & Mr. & Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence were arrested & sentenced to nine months in prison, although Christabel Pankhurst escaped to Paris where she remained in exile until the First World War. The Government granted them special privileges, which they refused to accept but for the majority of prisoners there were no such concessions. Demonstrators were, on average, sentenced to two months imprisonment for refusing to be fined or bound over to keep the peace, or were sentenced directly to two to six months in prison.

  • NEWSLETTER December 2018
    _______________________________________________________________________________________ NEWSLETTER December 2018 www.womansarchivewales.org_______________________________________________________________ Spanish Influenza – The biggest killer of women during WWI. 1918 has seen the celebration of partial female suffrage and the centenary of the Armistice that ended the War on 11th November. It also marks the centenary of the outbreak of the Spanish Influenza pandemic of 1918 – 19, which killed many times more people world-wide than the War itself. 100 years ago the epidemic was at its height in Europe. It is still not clear exactly how the disease reached Britain, and Wales in particular. The virus may have been brought from the USA with the entry of American troops into the War. Certainly the large movements of people during wartime led to its rapid spread. The illness first appeared in Britain and Europe in the spring of 1918; a serious flu epidemic, but nothing out of the ordinary. Then it resurfaced in early autumn as a very different affair. Unlike conventional flu, as well as the very old and very young the virus particularly attacked the age-group 24 – 35, the age of most men and women serving during the War. Nurses were particularly vulnerable. More than twenty nurses currently recorded on the Women, Wales and War website died of flu, or of pneumonia following flu. Nurses Hilda Downing of Newtown, Hannah Dunlop Mark of Bridgend and Rosina Lloyd, place of birth unknown, all died on 10th October 1918. Many caught the flu from patients they were nursing, including Lily Jenkins from Ammanford and Hylda Salathiel of Pencoed (in her case, the patient recovered and sent flowers to her funeral).
