They got fed up for not having their say, opinion or rights and they also could not be able to study a lot or able to vote or do jobs like what men did. So, they started the women's suffrages which led to two campaigns, the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (N.U.W.S.S) know as Suffragist and the Women's Social and Political Union (W.S.P.U) known as the Suffragettes.

The Suffragettes fought very hard to get their vote but in numerous of occasion, they were refused such as in 1906 when the Liberal Party won. The women's suffrages were supporting the Liberal Party and in returned the Liberal Party will support their cause of the right to vote
