Votes For Women
In
1890, the idea of women voting seemed a dangerous absurdity. Just
thirty years later, we had our first female MP. Find out how our
courageous sisters did it in this tour through Westminster, the heart of
state power. We'll look at famous members of the movement like Emmeline Pankhurst and Millicent Garrett Fawcett, as well as the thousands of anonymous women who changed history just by doing things ever so slightly differently to their mothers. We're going to find out about their methods, and ask some tricky questions: would their tactics still work today? And would you have joined them?
The route has some overlap with the Classic London and I Never Knew That About Westminster tours.
