The Women's Social and Political Union flourished between 1903 and 1914. It introduced "militancy" to the twentieth-century campaigns for women's suffrage in England.

The Union was founded in London in 1903 by Emmeline Pankhurst to gain suffrage for British women. At first its methods were peaceful; later it used deliberate violence in an effort to embarrass party leaders and force them to grant women the vote.
