The British women's suffrage movement turned to violent methods in the 1910s and early 1920s. The Women's Social and Political Union, led by Emmeline Pankhurst, began a campaign of militant tactics such as smashing windows, arson, and hunger strikes in prison. These tactics were a response to the government repeatedly ignoring peaceful protests and petitions for women's suffrage. It wasn't until 1918 that some women in Britain were granted the right to vote, and it wasn't until 1928 that all women over the age of 21 were granted the right to vote on the same terms as men.
