From the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the controversy of universal suffrage and the franchise, this bundle of lessons addresses how women have been treated throughout society.

The Suffragette Bundle also focuses on the 19th Century and the questionable suicide of Emily Davison to the militant actions of the Suffragettes including the Cat and Mouse Act, the use of Propaganda and their involvement in World War 1.

• How different were the lives of Medieval and Renaissance women?
• What were the causes and consequences of the industrial revolution on universal suffrage?
• What were the similarities and differences in the actions of the Suffragists of Millicent Fawcett and Suffragette ‘Deeds not words’ of Emmeline Pankhurst?
