Macabre London A Taxidermied Man Helped Women Get the Vote? | The Formation Of The Suffragettes
What does a taxidermied man have to do with women getting the vote? Well, as it turns out, quite a lot!
The 1800's ushered in a new way of life for everyone and the Industrial Revolution wasn't called that just because of the machines. This new reign of technology heralded in a new era in workers rights or in fact highlighted that...there were none! Pair this with the fact that only 4500 men in England were allowed to vote, this meant working class people had no say in what happened to them and they were angry! However, a new way of thinking was making it's way into parliament and that was because of a now taxidermied man who lived in a case...
Today on Macabre London, we uncover the origins of the women's suffrage movement and the path to the universal vote.
