Hi i hope some1 can help me!
I need some background information on Lord Curzon in relation to the suffragettes and the sane for the conservative party. i was wondering whether anyone had some good website i could get the information from.
please help

[lol]

Try this Website

http://www.spartacus...uk/PRcurzon.htm

www.world-war-1.info/figures/lord-curzon.php

www.historylearningsite.co.uk/1918_representation_of_the_peopl.htm

www.johndclare.net/women2.htm

This is very basic informaton however and i'll keep trying to find something else for you hopefully soon!


(I dont know how to add a hyperlink - could anyone tell me?)

I have never tred doing one before and i just copied and pasted it and thought it wouldnt work!

[Mr Field]

Thanks for the hyperlink LOL - and you do know how to hyperlink as you just did.

To be honest, I think that if you want any sort of detail your best source of information would be a book. Try your library and explain what you are looking for? (The Encyclopedia Britannica might well be helpful.). If you are prepared for a hard 'slog' then ask for a biography of Curzon.

See if you can get hold of 'Votes for Women: 1860 - 1928' by Paula Bartley. Published by Hodder and Stoughton (Access to History Series) and/or 'The British Women's Suffrage Campaign, 1866-1928 by Harold L Smith (Longman Seminar Studies in History Series.) These are both AS/A2 textbooks and not too difficult. As books go they are not terribly expensive either (c £7).

NB The attitude of most Conservatives was the same as Curzon's.

I've had a look on the 'Net for you and can only find brief references. See, for example:

http://www.spartacus...uk/PRcurzon.htm (on Curzon - very general; same link as 'lol' has given)
http://www.spartacus...co.uk/Wanti.htm (on the Anti Suffrage League - which Curzon supported)

Sorry not to be more helpful.

hiya,
i am doing some work and i am trying to say, which men didnt support the Suffragettes and why they didnt support them. A name that has come up in my research is a man called Lord Curzon.. i have tried researching for him, all i know is that he told men to go to Suffragette's marches not to support them but to insult them. I juts need some more information about him, to understand and to help me explain.

I am confused, when doing my research i haev had many dates about when the Suffragettes started their violent campaigns, my dates range from 1906-1909 and i dont know what date to put into my piece of work.

thank you for your help

Try following the replies and links given in these threads where someone else has also asked about Lord Curzon and the Suffragettes.

http://www.schoolhistory.co.uk/studentforu...=1128&hl=curzon

http://www.schoolhistory.co.uk/studentforu...=1161&hl=curzon

I think you will find what you need there. If not then do post again.

Mr Clare's site (to which reference is made in some of the messages) is particularly good on 'Votes For Women' so do study his materials carefully.
The first page of the site is here:

[I assume that this is GCSE coursework? if that is the case then do bear in mind that Exam Board Regulations are very strict about the help you are allowed to be given]

That's OK. It easy to miss the fact that someone else has already asked the same, or similar question. I wasn't "telling you off"!.

Anyway, I hope you do find what you were looking for amongst those links. If not then do let us know.
