Love this! What strong and wonderful women they were too! Thankyou to the suffragettes for their unwavering commitment to making noise! And we as women are still making a bloody awful din and being heard! 💗

08:55 I love the smile on the policeman’s face at the women standing outside parliament obviously very pleased for them.

The footage quality is amazing for the early 1900s

Those demonstrations were incredible. The sheer numbers attending.

That's what I was thinking. The men really thought they could win? We're half of the human race, we're in every household you can't stop us all! That was one of my favorite quotes from the movie with Carey Mulligan and Meryl Streep. These women were strong as hell. The things they went through, horrible torture, and yet they kept fighting!

The courage of all those women in Britain who wouldn't give up the fight to correct a terrible injustice - particularly in the face of such violent and often cruel opposition - never ceases to amaze me. I have recorded dome the stories of suffragists and suffragettes here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4PMnqxufs6AgJo

Did you record the terror attacks and white feathers?

4:22 It's a terrible sight. I had known for several years that one of the suffragettes had died because of a horse. (I thought she fell off her horse, only now did I see that she fell under a rushing horse). I didn't think I'd ever see this view unexpectedly.

And RNC Speaker Abby Johnson wants to set us back a century.

amazing presentation

What they forget to say is, that 40% of able-body working men, did not have the right to vote either.

[@ewalsh3871]

What about the person riding the horse no sympathy for him or the Horse.

[@tiggyt2261]

There is and was at the time, plenty of sympathy for Bertie Jones and the horse
