'a Little Daylight Game': Suffragettes Through Government Eyes

How did police, government and locals respond to militancy in the name of suffrage? This workshop will allow you to explore a range of documents taken from Home Office and Metropolitan Police files concerning some of the more extreme militant acts committed by suffrage campaigners in the early 20th century.

To celebrate Women’s History Month, we have prepared a series of events that will explore how the status and varied roles of women have changed across society – from the days of the Jacobite risings and throughout the course of the 20th century.

We run an exciting range of events and exhibitions on a wide variety of topics. For more details, visit nationalarchives.gov.uk/whatson. 

Entrance to The National Archives is free and there is no need to book, see nationalarchives.gov.uk/visit for more information.
