*Why did we use the word suffragette above?
According to Encyclopedia Britannica, "Suffragists were largely characterized by their dedication to nonviolence: they believed women would achieve the right to vote through peaceful methods like marches, handing out pamphlets, and public speeches. The word suffragette emerged much later, first appearing in print in 1906 when a British reporter used it as a derogatory term regarding women’s suffrage activists. The suffix -ette served as a diminutive in an attempt to minimize the women’s cause. Instead of being offended, some British groups—particularly the more radical ones—reclaimed the term as a positive one. Suffragettes didn’t limit themselves to handing out pamphlets. They damaged public property, spit at police, set things on fire, and often ended up in jail. They weren’t just asking for the right to vote—they were demanding it."
