Well, the suffragettes were formed to give women equal rights as men and be allowed to vote. Their protest was that they worked and had to follow laws they couldn't vote for. So they tried to protest but were ignored, one of the biggest things was that at the horse races their leader threw herself under a horse to prove their point became a famous marter but the government said that they couldn't give women votes if they were stupid enough to do that. I know this may be a bit of a lame thing to say but go on you-tube and look at the Horrible Histories Suffragette song, it explains the whole thing in a simple song.
