CASE STUDY

SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT
Nowhere in the world have governments willingly shared power. All over
Europe and USA, women and the poor have had to fight for participation
in government.
Women's struggle to vote got strengthened during the First World War.
This movement is called the women's suffrage movement as the term
suffrage usually means right to vote.
During the War, many men were away fighting, and because of these
women were called upon to do work that was earlier considered men's
work. Many women began organising and managing different kinds of
work. When people saw this, they began to wonder why they had created
so many unfair stereotypes about women and what they were capable of
doing. So, women began to be seen as being equally capable of making
decisions. The suffragettes demanded the right to vote for all women and
to get their demands heard they chained themselves to railings in public
places.
Many suffragettes were imprisoned and went on hunger strikes, and they
had to be fed by force. American women got the right to vote in 1920
while women in the UK got to vote on the same terms as men some years
later, in 1928.
a) Mention any one reason why right to vote should be available to all irrespective of their gender and
economic status.
b) Between Democracy and Monarchy which form of government do you prefer? Justify your answer by stating
any one relevant argument.
