1 the Appearance of Women's Politics in the Correspondence Pages of Aberdeen Newspapers 1900–14 SARAH PEDERSEN Robert Gordo
1 The Appearance of Women’s Politics in the Correspondence Pages of Aberdeen Newspapers 1900–14 SARAH PEDERSEN Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom ABSTRACT A newspaper’s ‘Letters to the Editor’ column represents its readership in an unique way and can provide a useful ‘thermometer’ with which to measure the extent of critical debate and discussion a particular issue generated in a locality. In this article, the letters of women to the editor of the Aberdeen Daily Journal, 1900 to 1914, are analysed to discover the type of political issues with which these women concerned themselves. It is argued that the women must have felt particularly strongly about such issues since they were prepared to take their arguments outside their social circle and to identify themselves as politically active in the pages of their daily newspaper. Political issues dealt with include local government, the suffrage question and government legislation. While much of the evidence used comes from the letters of active suffragists who were usually members of national suffrage associations, it is argued that the period showed an expansion in the type of woman interested in politics, and the corresponding urge to write to the newspapers. This is evidenced in the number of women who firmly stated that they were not suffragists, but became politicised enough to write to the newspaper complaining about the Insurance Act in 1912. 2 The following is based on a study of the letters of women correspondents to the Aberdeen Daily Journal between 1900 and the outbreak of war in 1914. It assesses the letter-writers’ attitudes to contemporary political issues, whether local, national or those perceived as ‘women’s issues’, in particular women’s involvement in local politics and the suffrage question. -

He then followed the artists’ trail to London taking the 1922 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition by storm with his critically acclaimed ‘Portrait Group,’ now in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria. Shy of his success, he became a scenic artist in London theatres. After 35 years away from Australia, he returned to Melbourne where he exhibited sporadically until his death in relative obscurity in 1965. -

A Point of Justice – Granted Or Fought For? Women's Suffrage Campaigns
Plymouth Law and Criminal Justice Review (2016) 1 A POINT OF JUSTICE – GRANTED OR FOUGHT FOR? WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE CAMPAIGNS IN PLYMOUTH AND THE SOUTH WEST 1 Judith Rowbotham and Kim Stevenson Abstract The release of the film Suffragette in October 2015, surprisingly the first major feature film on the women’s suffrage movement, has raised public consciousness about the issue of women’s rights and the role of the suffragettes in demanding votes for women with their call to arms of ‘deeds, not words’. But decades before the Women’s Social and Political Union was created in 1903 campaigners across the country had begun the struggle for emancipation for women. We argue that the film therefore needs to be seen in a wider context including the high level of male support for the cause and the fact it was not just a London or large city-based phenomenon. To support our claim this paper reviews the campaigns for women’s suffrage in Plymouth and the South West in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. We conclude with reference to the ‘clever’ arrest by Plymouth’s Chief Constable, Joseph Davison Sowerby, of Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst as she attempted to land at Plymouth having sailed from New York on the liner Majestic. Keywords: suffragette, suffragist, votes for women, franchise, Women’s Social and Political Union, Emmeline Pankhurst Introduction The release of the film Suffragette has successfully put part of the history of the campaign for women’s rights back on the public agenda, by presenting a view of the most famous aspect of the fight for women to have votes in parliamentary elections. -
WHS Suffrage Scotland – Militancy
THE WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT IN SCOTLAND, 1867- 1928: A LEARNING RESOURCE SUFFRAGE MILITANCY IN SCOTLAND Valerie Wright In this section you will find information on the following: The difference between suffragettes and suffragists An account of how the suffrage movement became divided An overview of the organisations and individuals involved in militancy A summary of the militant acts that took place in Scotland (that we know of) The consequences of militant action for some individuals The term ‘suffragettes’, coined in the early twentieth century, is often used to describe all efforts by individual women and women’s organisations to gain the right to vote in Parliamentary elections on equal terms with men. However there were important distinctions between those organisations which continued to use constitutional methods to affect change, known as suffragists, and those who instead became increasingly militant in using what may be described as ‘direct action’. These were the women who could accurately be described as suffragettes. This section considers the history of suffrage militancy in Scotland and the women involved. It is followed by a case study of the contribution of local research to understandings of how widespread militancy was in Scotland, both geographically and in terms of the individuals involved. Scottish women and suffrage militancy Conventional studies of suffrage militancy always start with the Pankhursts (Emmeline and her daughters Christabel, Sylvia and Adela) and the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU). Formed in 1903 in Manchester this organisation took a new direction, demanding, rather than requesting, ‘votes for women’. It established headquarters in London in 1906. -
