Suffragettes Discover Box

Explore the power of protest with our Suffragettes & Protest Discover Box, an inspiring resource linking the Votes for Women campaign to modern movements for LGBTQ+ rights and climate justice. Pupils investigate the contrasting tactics of Suffragists and Suffragettes, handle replica artefacts, debate methods of change, and create responses such as prison letters and persuasive arguments. By comparing historical activism with contemporary protest, learners develop critical thinking, empathy and citizenship skills. Perfect for History, English and Citizenship, this box helps students understand how ordinary people challenge injustice—and how protest continues to shape society today.
