Hull

Hull Suffrage Societies

a hull branch was founded in 1907. the local members included mrs Bramwell and a Mrs Scorah. In autumn 1909 a hull and east riding branch of the conservative an unionist womens association had been formed. in 1910 jenny baines was working as the WSPU organizer in town.in 1913 the branches secretary was called Ms Little. Although there was a lot of suffragists in Hull for a long time, a number of suffragettes in Hull chained themselves to railings and took part in more violent campaigns. The suffragists played a huge part in Hull, setting up meetings and talking with local politicians. When women got the vote it all happened so quietly that it almost went unnoticed.
