 | | In July 1913, attempts were made by suffragettes to burn down the houses of two members of the government who were opposed to women having the vote. | | | Before long, all Suffragette prisoners were on hunger strike, so the threat to pass long sentences on us had failed. | | | This successful means of dealing with hunger strikes became known as the Cat and Mouse Act. |

| | Suffragette Movement, political movement in Edwardian Britain that demanded the right of the vote for women. | | | From now on, heckling of politicians and a willingness to go to prison became key tactics used by “suffragettes”, as WSPU members became known, in their campaign to force the government to give women the vote. | | | The term is specifically applied to members of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), the most notorious of the women's suffrage groupings, who campaigned for the parliamentary vote to be given to women on the same terms as it was granted to men. |

| | The British Suffragette Movement |
| | The more militant the WSPU became, the more reluctant Parliament was to grant women the vote, and the more firmly Parliament stood on the issue of suffrage, the more violent and desperate the suffragettes became. | | | The militancy of the suffragettes served an invaluable purpose; without it, the government could have (and did, before 1913) stated that there was no real "evidence" suggesting that women even wanted the vote. | | | Frustrated with a sidestepping government, a majority of the suffragettes of Great Britain eventually turned to such militant measures in order to campaign for women's rights and, especially, women's voting rights. |

| | On 10 October 1903, the Women's Social and Political Union - its members soon be nicknamed the suffragettes - held its inaugural meeting, and declared that the situation was so serious it would have to pursue extreme measures of civil disobedience. | | | By 1911, the UK had witnessed the first act of suffragette arson (orchestrated by Christabel) and two years later Emily Davison died at the Derby as she rushed out to bring down the King's horse. | | | At its height it became one of the few political movements in the history of Britain to cut across all classes - for no woman could vote, regardless of her position. |

| | These links did not go unnoticed by the suffragettes around Christabel who stressed the independence of the WSPU from all men's parties and led to the final break between the East London Federation of the WSPU and the WSPU itself in January 1914, and the formation of the East London Federation of Suffragettes (ELFS). | | | One argument used by Christabel against the East London Federation was that it had a democratic constitution and relied too heavily on working class women - she argued, in effect, that the fight for women's votes shouldn't apply within the WSPU itself! | | | The seeds of such a divide were there from the early days of the suffragette organisation, the Women's Social and Political Union. |
