Suffragettes' Shift to Supporting the War Effort

The chapter explores the surprising decision of suffragettes to pause their militant suffrage campaign and support Britain during World War I, aiming to advance women's rights post-war. It discusses the government's release of suffragettes from prison, support for demonstrations, and Emmeline Pankhurst's transformation into a state organizer. The chapter also covers the impact of suffragettes' rebellious activities on their war work and the subsequent passing of the Representation of the People Act in 1918.
