Suffragette being force fed (COPY 1/286/362)
Students will spend the morning at The National Archives studying some of the original files kept here on Suffragette militant actions. They will have the opportunity to research using Home Office and Metropolitan Police files, including the police file on Emily Davison's protest at the Derby.
Students will then travel over to Hampton Court for the afternoon's session, where they will spend time exploring the 'Soldiers, Suffragettes and Servants' exhibition, before interviewing a key 'witness' from the past: a costumed interpreter will play the role of a political activist from an earlier age.
