How did the government respond to the movement? [Sources including: prison records, legislation, police reports, newspaper articles] There were also non-violent actions that broke the law: refusing to fill in census, refusing to pay tax without representation – a range of creative tactics,” says Delap. What methods were used by the police to detect suffragette activities? [sources: surveillance, cameras, finger printing]
In the U.S., the women's suffrage movement really came to fruition following an 1848 convention in Seneca Falls, New York. The meeting of 100 people, two-thirds of them women, was the first of its kind in the country. But with a pervasive patriarchy and the rise of the abolitionist movement at the onset of the Civil War, the suffrage movement in the U.S. briefly stalled. Some posters explicitly call for ‘law-abiding’ meetings. Delap explains that the movement became divided on tactics, as many felt the continued denial of rights forced more drastic action. Zimbabwe's Women in Politics Support Unit (WiPSU) are also campaigning to for greater roles for women in politics, and work to increase female voter participation. They encourage women to stand for election, and lobby the government to accept different forms of identification for voting so that more people (particularly women) can cast their votes. Finally, WiPSU is working to develop a peace pledge to encourage politicians to sign onto to ensure safer and less violent elections, as well as hold individuals accountable.

She’s right. To think of feminist progress as one-way trajectory toward parity is to ignore the ever-present reality that in America, there is no politics or progress untainted by misogyny or racism. In the summer of 1908 the famous author, Mary Humphry Ward, was approached by Lord Curzon and William Cremer and asked to become the first president of the Anti-Suffrage League. Ward agreed and on 8th July, 1908 the organisation published its manifesto. It included the following: "It is time that the women who are opposed to the concession of the parliamentary franchise to women should make themselves fully and widely heard. The matter is urgent. Unless those who hold that the success of the women's suffrage movement would bring disaster upon England are prepared to take immediate and effective action, judgement may go by default and our country drift towards a momentous revolution, both social and political, before it has realised the dangers involved."
