The suffragettes consisted of many different unions with the most famous being the WSPU that was founded and headed by the Pankhursts. The suffragettes fought for womens suffrage (rights to vote) through, mainly, the use of violence and crime. Emily Davidson was indeed famous as she threw herself underneath the King's horses in a Derby and her funeral became a suffragette protest.
