Theresa May: suffragette or suffragist?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Would Prime Minister Theresa May have broken the law to help women get the vote - like the suffragettes? Or would she have stuck to persuasive campaigning like the suffragists? She told Woman's Hour's Jenni Murray whether - had she been alive 100 years ago - she would have signed up to Emmeline Pankhurst's brand of militant direct action by setting fire to buildings, or taken Millicent Fawcett's approach of gradual constitutional reform.
