April 1st, 1903
Alright, I have just created a group called The Women’s Social and Political Union and I am prepared to use violence! Some of the strategies that I plan to use in order to catch the government's attention are as follows,
1. Parade up and down the streets with signs reading "Votes for Women!" and shouting these words to draw attention and get our aim across.
2. Chain ourselves to lamp posts or monumental buidlings such as Buckingham Palace. This is to show our strength. Also, the police will have a hard time removing us from the property as the hook will be under our dresses; it is considered disgraceful to expose a woman, so they will have to embarass themselves in front of everyone in order to complete their duty. Hopefully this will shine a different light on the police force.
3. Vandalize shops. This will agrivate everyday citizens and then they too will want women to be given the right to vote so that their buildings will stop being wrecked.
I hope all of you will join me in this movement to gain women suffrage!
-Emmeline Pankhurst
