The suffragettes were one of the groups that fought for women's rights in Britain. They were known for being more violent and using more publicity stunts such as chaining themselves to railings outside Buckingham Palace, or threatening MPs. It was one of their members who was killed by running in front of the royal horse during a race, as a form of protest. They are not to be confused with the suffragists who were a more peaceful group fighting for the same cause. When some of the group saw that peaceful methods were not as immediate in their effect, the formation of the suffragettes was the result.
