Emancipation of Women 1860-1920
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/resource.htm
Part of the Spartacus Encyclopaedia of History, a huge resource on a wide range of material. This site contains biographies of all of the leading Suffragettes and also a wealth of original sources on the question of votes for women.
Timeline of Events in (Modern) Women's History
http://www.smokylake.com/Christy/womentime.htm
Really useful timeline of important developments relating to women’s history. Particularly useful in that it gives the Women’s Rights issue a global perspective. The concurrent campaigns in Australasia, the USA and Britain come across very clearly.
Interview with Diane Atkinson, Historian on Suffragettes
http://www.pbs.org/greatwar/interviews/atkinson1.html
This interview focuses on the role of women during the Great War. The material is fairly high level, but motivated GCSE students would be able to use it with a little care and attention.
With All Her Might
http://www3.sympatico.ca/past.forward/store/harding/harding.htm
This site is actually an advertisement for a book about Gertrude Harding, a militant Suffragette and member of Emmeline Pankhurst’s personal bodyguard. Some interesting biographical detail about this relative unknown and some powerful visual material.
