About the event
The militant actions of the suffragettes are firmly entrenched in our history books. Whether it's the shocking footage of Emily Wilding Davison martyring herself under the King's horse, or tiny Emmeline Pankhurst being carried, defiant, by two burly policeman as she screams 'Votes for Women!' - the extraordinary bravery and resilience of these heroines and what they achieved is taught in every school now, and their legacy affects us to this day.
But what about some of the lesser known suffragettes, and how much of a role did the Police play, and the justice system who criminalised these women?
