Just wondering if anyone can help me if there is a site on a list of individuals, groups and men that supported the suffragette campaign and why they did - as all the information i have gathered does not give direct suggestions to this topic

[Mrs Faithorn]

I don't know of any site that will "do your work for you" in the way that you would like.

If this is for a piece of GCSE coursework, then part of the point of this is that you do the research and figure things out for yourself, I'm afraid

This site is very good indeed for research on the topic, but I am afraid it seems to be down at the moment:
http://www.spartacus...co.uk/women.htm
When it is back up I'll try to give you links to particular pages there.

This site on Votes for Women is specifically designed for GCSE course work on this topic and is excellent - though it doesn't 'do your work for you'! There are also a lot of links to other sites alongside each section that you might like to follow up.

THe site is back up again now. The 'front page' on the 'Emancipation of Women' is here:
http://www.spartacus...co.uk/women.htm

As you will see on that page (above) everything is neatly categorised. There is a long list of women involved in women's suffrage together with the name of the organisation in which they were involved. Each name is a link to further information about that person and organisation.

There is a section called 'Pressure Groups' which is another 'way in' to each of the groups supporting votes for women. Included in that section is a link to The Men's League for Women's Suffrage which includes the names of leading men who supported the Women (and hyperlinks to more info. about these men).

As for the reasons why all these people and organisations supported women's right to vote then reallly that it is something you should do for yourself. There will be reasons that most had in common and then specific reasons applying to various individuals.

If, as you say, you have already done a fair amount of research then I find it hard to believe that you can't see the general reasons why many people thought 'votes for women' was a good idea.

If you are genuinely stuck then do post again and say exactly what your problem is, but the rules relating to the amount of help you can get for coursework questions are pretty strict. (if this is GCSE coursework as I suspect)

Thanks for your help, I'm sure I will find your guidance very useful

Which individuals, groups and men supported the Suffragette campaign?

I know that there was a men’s organisation called 'Men’s League for Women’s Suffrage' which supported the women trying to get the vote, but that is all I know

Thanks

Someone else has recently asked a very similar question, so you should find the answers given in reply there helpful.

See here:

I assume that this is for a piece of GCSE coursework and I am afraid that the Exam Board rules are very strict about the help you are allowed to receive, but if you follow the links given in the messages mentioned above you should be able to find out the answer yourself.

[Mrs Faithorn]

As far as men who supported the the Suffragette Movement is concerned, then in addition to following the link given in the other thread Imentioned to the Men's League for Women's Suffrage, you may also find this newspaper report of a lecture on 'How men helped women to win the vote' of some use.

Don't forget that the National Archives site is also very useful for finding out about who supported the Suffragette movement including key political figures like JS Mill and Keir Hardie.
