Suffragists and Hunger Strikes

The peaceful wing of the women's suffrage movement, the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS), took a markedly different approach under Millicent Fawcett's leadership. Their methods focused on constitutional means of protest.

Vocabulary: Suffragists - Members of the NUWSS who advocated for women's voting rights through peaceful means.

Example: A massive procession in June 1908 drew over 300,000 protesters, demonstrating the movement's growing strength.

The practice of hunger strikes became a powerful weapon in the suffragette arsenal, beginning with Marion Wallace Dunlop in 1909. This tactic forced the government to respond with the controversial Cat and Mouse Act.

Definition: The Cat and Mouse Act (1913) allowed for the temporary release of hunger-striking prisoners to recover before returning to complete their sentences.

Highlight: Many released suffragettes chose to flee abroad rather than return to prison, effectively undermining the Act's purpose.

World War I Causes and MANIA Framework

The first revision card breaks down the complex causes of World War I using the MANIA acronym, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the conflict's origins. Each letter represents a crucial factor that contributed to the outbreak of war.

Definition: MANIA stands for Militarism, Alliances, Nationalism, Imperialism, and Assassination - the five key causes of World War I.

Example: Imperialism is demonstrated through one country's economic and political control over another, while militarism manifested in the arms race between European powers.

The card also introduces the suffragettes, a revolutionary women's movement founded by Emmeline Pankhurst in Manchester in 1903. The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) employed militant tactics to advance their cause.

Highlight: The WSPU had approximately 5,000 members by 1914, primarily composed of working-class women.

Quote: "The suffragettes used violent action to help the cause as they thought people wouldn't listen to peaceful action."
