'The Women’s Suffrage resources project explores women at the hustings through the 17th and 18th centuries, to the growth of the suffrage movement in the 19th century and forward to contemporary democratic voices. The project brings to life the ordinary people who campaigned for the right to vote – through both peaceful means and more militant methods.
These resources have been developed by the Historical Association and the Association for Citizenship Teaching with support from the Government Equalities Office and Cabinet Office.'
