THE CREATION AND ACTIVITIES OF A WOMEN’S SOCIO-POLITICAL ALLIANCE IN BRITAIN IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY

Abstract

In the article, on the basis of the available sources and historiography, the features of foundation and the basic methods of activity of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the UK are studied. The reasons of WSPU activists’ transition to radical actions are highlighted. The attention is focused on the argumentation system of the militant wing activists on their methods of activities; and on evaluation of WSPU activities by the society. The author concludes that the activity of the radical wing was of great impact for the suffrage movement, because it hadn’t left for the suffragists issue the opportunity to disappear from the public discourse, despite the fact that the most of advocates of women’s voting rights did not share the militant methods.
