History is an important study if one wants to understand the past. As one searchers for understanding in the 1900s British Women's Suffrage Movement, it is necessary to search within the history that pre-dates their present to illuminate their past.
As this site takes a look at art and politics of the 1900s women's movement and before the reader is challenged to understand how these two topics greatly effected how the women in the movement organized and demonstrated, sometimes very personally and other times encompassing all participants.
"The British women's suffrage movement was a watershed in British women's history." Bringing together a mass amount of women in unparalleled in past British History. The British women's suffrage movement was successful in bringing together as well as gaining equal voting rights for women. As well as including women in parliament, and contributing to the admission of women into political parties. Although the movement was for the better and continued to move forward some men as well as women were against the movement, believing that if all women could not be free than non should be at all. (3) (p 82)
Some of these suffrage campaigns varied based on different understandings of ideological basis's. Some suffragists believed that their claim on equal rights ideology was rooted in liberal political theory.. as recent work stressed the importance of sexual difference ideology... maintaing that women's natures were different form men's and superior in important respects.
This allowed women to vote as men did, empowering them to alter man-made institutions to help reflect women to higher moral standards.
Again the women's suffrage movement and the hesitancy behind it was due to men and thier need to stay ahead politically. As these men were the double standard of women's sexuality... part of male anti suffragist's resistance to enfranchising females stemmed from the "fear that women would use political power to feminize social institutions." (3) (p 82).
