Did women use violence to get the right to vote?
It's more complicated in the US as the suffragette movement was used to kill the suffragist movement; by giving white women the right to vote, they were able to break the early solidarity between wealthier white women and the movements for black people, poor people, catholics, etc.
In the UK the suffragette movement involved a campaign of bombing, arson, and attacks/kidnappings of politicians.
Interesting ty!
