Article published: unknown
This week, I began my research. I decided the best place to start was with the Suffragette movement as they hold a lot of significance in the development of women's rights. I found the article interesting as I learnt the names of key, significant women in the movement and organisation of the National Society for Women's Suffrage (NSWS) and the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). these are key organisations which I plan to research further.
This article taught me about the different dates of the Suffragette movement. I learnt about the different incidents in a brief summary. The brief summary allowed me to identify events that interest me that I could potential use in my final piece.
However, I found that this article focused on the key events and not the laws, until a brief mention of the Representation of the People's Act 1918. This is not useful to my project, but it gave me a good understanding of the movement for if the movement appears later on in my research.
I used the Suffragettes' official website, which can be accessed by the link below. This ensured validity as the organisation is registered, which makes the source more reliable of the information being portrayed. However, the website is solely for the Suffragettes and their movement and so I suspect that the site may be biased upon certain events and certain social groups, which I took into account when researching.
(In the post above, I have noted my findings for further use, all information is from the link at the top of the page.)
