Best Answer

The suffragettes were a group of women who campaigned for women to have a right to vote in elections. Some ladies handcuffed them self to the Houses of Parliament but ended up behind bars. Finally the suffragettes wish was granted and now thanks to the suffragettes women now are able to take part in the elections.
They were a group of women in the early 1900s that campaigned for women's rights in Britain, often in a violent way. For example, Emily Davison threw herself underneath the King's horse at the 1913 derby.
