Source C agrees with source B to some extent. It shows a cartoon of a suffragist, a respectable, and calm and collected ‘votes for women’ supporter, and a suffragette, a scruffy, violent looking votes for women campaigner. The cartoon shows both suffragist and suffragette standing outside a Liberal Party (who were in power at the time) meeting, the suffragette looking as if she wants to disrupt or break into the meeting, and the suffragist calmly holding her back, and at the same time shown blaming the violent suffragette for stopping women as a majority getting the vote through violent, bad campaigning methods by branding the suffragette as a woman’s ‘worst enemy’. This cartoon is a piece of propaganda, as it seems to portray the extremes of suffragette campaigning. The suffragette is shown as scruffy, mad and untidy, when in fact suffragettes were upper and middle class respectable-looking women.
Sources B and C seems to agree on the fact the suffragettes go about getting the vote in the wrong ways, source B referring to them as ‘discontented ladies’ and source C depicting them as mad and scruffy and branding them ‘shrieking sisters. They also seem to agree on the fact that women like suffragettes should not be granted the vote as through their actions, such as violent campaigning, they have proved that they do not deserve it. However, there are also points of disagreement between sources B and C. From what we can see, the author of source B is stating that giving women the vote is wrong, although the title of the book that source B comes from mentions the word ‘Suffragette’, not ‘Woman’ or ‘Women’. It suggests that women who bring up sons to disrespect women have nothing and no one to blame but their selves, whereas source C does not suggest that votes for women is wrong in principle, but that the way that the Suffragettes are going about trying to get the vote is wrong.
To a certain degree, source B does support source C, as they seem to agree that the suffragettes were wrong in their methods for getting the vote. Although the author of C, who ironically is a man, appears to not disapprove of women’s votes on a whole, but only the suffragette methods of getting the vote, whereas the author of source D appears to not be in favour of votes for women at all.
