Describe the ways in which the Methods of the Suffragists and Suffragettes were Different
The Suffragists and Suffragettes started off using fairly similar methods to try and get their point of view across but they gradually began to differ more and more.
The main difference between their methods was that the Suffragettes used violence whereas the Suffragists used more peaceful methods. The Suffragettes began their campaign of violence in 1905 when they realised that peaceful methods were not really having an impact on their cause. They did things such as throwing stones at politicians’ cars, damaging paintings and interrupting politicians during their speeches. The suffragists disapproved strongly of this violence and preferred to use more peaceful methods such as postal campaigns and public rallies.
