Suffragettes through government eyes: ‘A little daylight game’?

What do the records reveal about the movement?

Exploring a range of documents taken from Home Office and Metropolitan Police files, students find out about some of the most extreme militant acts committed by suffrage campaigners in the early 20th century. How did police, government and locals respond to this militancy?
