Victorian life - Briti ajalugu
A new suffrage bill was introduced in 1910, but growing impatient, the WSPU launched a
heightened campaign of protest in 1912 on the basis of targeting property and avoiding
violence against any person. Initially this involved smashing shop windows, but ultimately
escalated to burning stately homes and bombing public buildings including Westminster
Abbey. It also famously led to the death of Emily Davison as she was trampled by the King's
horse, Anmer, (over which she was attempting to drape a suffragette banner) at the Epsom
Derby in 1913.
In 1928, women got the same voting rights as men(voting age 21).
