How will these resources help you?

Pupils are often taught about the Suffragettes and the fight for equality in the 20th century, but what of the women from before that time who forced their way into the history records? It can be harder to find resources about them. The Historical Association (HA) and the Association for Citizenship Teaching (ACT) brought together an excellent collection of resources and enquiries to celebrate the centenary of the Representation of the People Act in 2018. They make a great starting point for new perspectives on this important aspect of history. The resources include an excellent timeline of stories of women’s suffrage from the 1500s to 1928.
