Emmeline Pankhurst e il femminismo: storia e protagoniste del movimento per l'emancipazione femminile tra l'Ottocento e il Novecento.

Au début du XXe siècle, de nombreux pays, comme la France ou le Royaume-Uni, n'accordaient pas le droit de vote aux femmes. En Grande-Bretagne, des mouvements féministes sont alors apparus, pour réclamer le droit de suffrage pour les femmes et, plus généralement, une plus grande égalité entre les deux sexes.À cet égard, l'organisation la plus résolue est fondée en 1903. Présidée par Emmeline Pankhurst, la "women's social and political union" (WSPU) sera animée par des femmes combatives, qui passeront à la postérité sous le nom de "suffragettes".Elles sont prêtes à tout pour obtenir ce qu'elles demandent. Elles tentent d'entrer dans le Parlement, perturbent les meetings des autres partis et s'enchaînent aux grilles des monuments officiels.Elles ne reculent pas devant la violence, brisant les vitres des maisons de certains députés. Leurs actions leur valent de nombreux séjours en prison, qu'elles savent utiliser pour les besoins de leur propagande.Certaines suffragettes sont plus connues que d'autres. On a cité le nom de leur inspiratrice, Emmeline Pankhurst. Mais celui d'Emily Davison est également resté dans les mémoires.Cette jeune femme téméraire emploie tous les moyens pour attirer l'attention de ses concitoyens sur la cause qu'elle défend. Elle incendie des boîtes aux lettres, observe une grève de la faim dans sa geôle et enjambe la balustrade de la prison, pour protester contre l'alimentation forcée qu'on lui a fait subir.À cette occasion, déjà, Emily Davison frôle la mort. Par contre, le 4 juin 1913, elle n'y échappe pas. Ce jour-là, durant le derby d'Epsom, une prestigieuse compétition hippique, elle s'élance sur la piste où courent les chevaux.L'un d'entre eux, qui appartient au Roi George V, la renverse. Quatre jours plus tard, elle décède de ses blessures à l'hôpital où elle a été transportée.Certains diront qu'Emily Davison s'est sacrifiée pour donner plus de résonance à la cause à laquelle elle a voué sa vie. D'autres, par contre, parlent d'un banal accident, l'intention de la militante étant simplement d'accrocher une bannière aux couleurs du WSPU au cou du cheval. Hébergé par Acast.

The return of peace after the First World War might have heralded the arrival of a time of tranquillity. Sadly, it didn't. Too much had changed. Four empires, three venerable and one an unpstart, had collapsed: Turkey's Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were the longstanding ones, and the German Empire, most powerful of all four, was the upstart that had shared the same fate. In Britain, Lloyd George, basking in his reputation as ‘the man who won the war', was nonetheless in a precarious position as the Liberal leader of a Conservative-dominated government. He decided to bring in a major electoral reform, the Representation of the People Act of 1918, and then go to the country at the head of his coalition – that is, the two parties in the coalition campaigning together, rather than as separate organisations which might well form a coalition afterwards, if the election results made that necessary. The electorate he faced had been greatly increased by his reform, including over five million more men but also, and this was the major innovation, for the first time, over eight million women. At last, the suffrage movement had broken through, but no thanks to the Suffragettes – Emmeline Pankhurst's WSPU had stopped campaigning for the vote when war broke out. The much bigger organisation, of Suffragists, the NUWSS led by Millicent Fawcett, played a much more significant role. It too, though, had been convulsed by the war, breaking with the peace movement to retain the support of more nationalist individuals, in particular in the Conservative party. At the same time, I had severed its electoral links to the Labour Party. It had paid off. Enough Conservatives voted for emancipation for the vote to be granted to women aged 30 or over and meeting a property qualification – not universal adult suffrage as granted to men but a big step all the same. So at the December 1918 general election, women could vote, and indeed stand, for the first time ever.

We've reached a time of rising violence in English history. This episode concentrates firstly, and briefly, on the violence around the growing militancy of the trade union movement, worrying and ugly though not even remotely comparable to what was happening in the US at the time – these things are all relative… Next we return to the women's suffrage movement, to the growing divergence between the Suffragists of Millicent Fawcett's National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies and the Suffragettes of Emmeline Pankhurst's Women's Social and Political Union, as the former stuck to the commitment to campaigning by legal means only and the latter moved increasingly towards violent actions. But the changes were also producing internal splits within the WSPU itself. We talk in this episode about what happened as the Pankhursts fell out with each other, leading to Adela Pankhurst's departure to Australia and Sylvia's expulsion from the WSPU, with her organisation emerging as the East London Federation of Suffragettes, wedded as firmly as ever to the cause of the working class and the Labour Party, and close to one of that party's most fervent supporters of votes for women, George Lansbury. Finally, we mention the one martyr's death for the Suffragette cause, that of Emily Davison, an iconic event in the campaign, though perhaps not quite what many people believe it to have been.

This week we're back with women's suffrage movement, as the conflict heated up and turned a lot uglier. That was partly because one of the main movements, the Suffragette Women's Social and Political Union led by Emmeline Pankhurst, turned to more violent means, leading to an increasing divergence from the biggest organisation, Millicent Fawcett's Suffragist National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. Equally, the ugliness was also down to the increasing violence of the state, force feeding women in prison and displaying brutality at Suffragette demonstrations, notably at the Black Friday event on 18 November 1910. Meanwhile, parliamentary bills to grant women the vote kept failing due to lack of time for the Commons to consider them, and on the third occasion, because the violence turned some MPs previously in favour, against the measure. And another bill, that would have granted universal suffrage for men and was due to be amended to extend to women, failed when the Speaker of the House ruled the amendment out of order, a strange decision which looked much more politically than constitutionally driven. It seems, though, that the Liberal Prime Minister, Asquith, was far from unhappy over this outcome. The suffrage movements realised how lukewarm Liberal support for their demands had become and started to move away from the party. Again, the NUWSS and the WSPU moved in opposite directions: the former towards Labour but the latter, rather more surprisingly, towards the Conservatives.

The first couple of years of the Liberal government elected in 1906 saw some achievements but also a great deal of frustration. The Unionist majority in the House of Lords annulled the Liberals' in the Commons. That blocked many of the government's initiatives. This period ended in August 1907 when Campbell-Bannerman, the Prime Minister, started a series of three heart attacks over the next fifteen months. Ultimately, they left him bedbound until, in April 1908, he became the only Prime Minister to die in 10 Downing Street. Meanwhile, in the women's movement, and in particular among the Suffragists of Millicent Fawcett's National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, the NUWSS, dominated by Liberals, there had been great hopes of seeing progress with a Liberal government in power. They were dashed by Campbell-Bannerman's refusal to act. In part, this was down to party considerations, since both organisations were looking not for universal adult suffrage, but only equality of voting rights with men, on the existing basis. That would only enfranchise relatively well-off women, and they would be inclined to vote Conservative. Just as the NUWSS was linked to the Liberals, so the other main organisation, Emmeline Pankhurst's Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) was closely bound to Labour. However, the Pankhursts – both Emmeline and her daughter and closest collaborator Christabel – began to lose faith in Labour from the very time they set up the WSPU. They favoured more militant action, such as intervening in public meetings and heckling speakers. The effectiveness of their campaigning in gaining publicity for the movement even persuaded Fawcett took move towards direct methods, for instance in organising the 3000-strong ‘Mud March' in 1907. But when HH Asquith, an opponent of women's suffrage, took over as Prime Minister from Campbell-Bannerman, and it became clear that the government wasn't going to advance the women's cause anytime soon, the two organisations' ways began to part. The SWPU began to explore far more militant tactics yet, which the NUWSS wouldn't be prepared to adopt. That, though, is for later episodes… Illustration: Christabel Pankhurst, by Ethel Wright, in a portrait exhibited in 1909 National Portrait Gallery 6921 Music: Bach Partita #2c by J Bu licensed under an Attribution-NonCommercial-No Derivatives (aka Music Sharing) 3.0 International License.

La Women Social and Political Union (WSPU) est créée en 1903 par Emeline Pankhurst et ses filles Christabel et Sylvia. Les couleurs de la WSPU deviennent un symbole pour toutes les suffragettes : « Le violet ... est la couleur royale. Il représente le sang royal qui coule dans les veines de chaque suffragette, l'instinct de liberté et de dignité… le blanc représente la pureté dans la vie privée et publique […] le vert est la couleur de l'espoir ».   Le logo de la WSPU créé par Sylvia Pankhurst, incarne dans ses couleurs le message du parti comme un code secret : Green White Violet – Give Women Votes. La WSPU est le 1er mouvement à utiliser des couleurs pour créer une identité politique.   Sylvia Pankhurst réalise l'emblématique Holloway Brooch en argent qui représente la « herse » la porte suspendue également symbole de la chambre des communes. Au centre la flèche,  Broad arrow, aux couleurs de la WSPU rappelle le signe présent sur les uniformes des prisons britanniques. Elle est encadrée latéralement par deux chaînes qui rappellent la détention (Holloway est une prison pour femme ). La Holloway Brooch est remises aux suffragettes à leur sortie de prison.    Le WSPU crée une décoration pour les suffragettes grévistes de la faim dans une boîte violette avec l'inscription : « En reconnaissance d'une action courageuse, par laquelle, grâce à l'endurance jusqu'à la dernière extrémité de la faim et des difficultés, un grand principe de justice politique a été justifié », la médaille se suspend sur un ruban vert, blanc et violet à partir d'une barrette en argent gravée de l'inscription « For Valour ». Sur le ruban, les barres unies indiquent les arrestations et les barres colorées, une alimentation forcée, gravée à l'arrière de la mention « fed by force » avec la date. La médaille comporte sur l'avant la mention « Hunger Strike » et au revers le nom de la suffragette.  Le Musée de Londres a dans son fond la décoration de Lady Constance Lytton. Arrêtée une première fois le 9 octobre 1909, pour avoir jeté une pierre sur la voiture de Lloyd George, elle entame une grève de la faim mais n'est pas nourrie de force parce que c'est une lady. Indignée par cette inégalité sociale, elle se déguise en roturière et sous le speudo de « Jane Warton » est arrêtée le 14 janvier 1910 pour avoir manifesté. Elle sera nourrie de force plusieurs fois. Sa décoration indiquent toutes ces violences, ses 2 noms ainsi que la devise du WSPU « Deeds not words ».   Pour les suffragettes aisées, des bijoux sont fabriqués dans une tradition joaillière et les couleurs de la WSPU sont symbolisées par l'améthyste, le diamant et le péridot. Dans le catalogue Mappin & Webb de Noël 1908, il y a une page dédiée aux "Suffragette Jewellery", avec cinq pièces en émail et pierres précieuses, des broches et des pendentifs sertis d'or.   Le collier que j'ai choisi pour la vignette de ce podcast, qui a été présenté à Drouot est un pendentif ajouré où l'on retrouve les couleurs du WSPU dans les pampilles de gouttes de péridot ovale, de diamants taille ancienne et de tourmaline mauve taille poire. Sa boîte originale porte l'inscription Bessie from Alfred 15 sept 1910. On peut l'attribuer à Elisabeth Watson qui était une des plus jeunes suffragettes doublée de la plus jeune joueuse de cornemuse du monde.    Pour ce bijou, l'origine est donc attestée. Car c'est bien la difficulté des bijoux de suffragettes que l'on retrouve aujourd'hui. Les gemmes et l'émail qui illustrent les couleurs de la WSPU étaient aussi celles que l'époque édouardienne plébiscitait. Les inscriptions sont un moyen de les authentifier : together at the vote, stand up together, women for vote, come on. D'autre fois ils comportent des dates, les années où le droit de vote a progressé.  Les bijoux des suffragettes sont très demandés par les collectionneurs. Ce sont des bijoux rares qui méritent qu'on les recherchent pour les porter respectueusement en souvenir de ce combat pour le droit de vote des femmes.

Wir springen in dieser Folge nach Großbritannien, in die Jahre vor dem Beginn des 1. Weltkriegs. Die WSPU kämpft für das Frauenwahlrecht, doch die Proteste und der zivile Ungehorsam sind für die Suffragetten nicht ungefährlich. Um sich besser gegen die Gewalt des Staates als auch ihrer Gegner wehren zu können, tritt Edith Garrud auf den Plan, die nun mit ihren Fähigkeiten aushelfen soll. Die verwendete Literatur ist unter anderem "Rise up, Women!" von Diane Atkinson, ein sehr erhellender Artikel über britische Frauen und Kampfsport in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts namens "Women's Jujutsu and Judo in the Early Twentieth-Century" von Mike Callahan, Conor Heffernan und Amanda Spenn, und das in der Folge erwähnte Buch von Fern Riddell "Death in Ten Minutes." Das Episodenbild zeigt Edith Garrud in einer Karikatur aus dem Jahr 1910. //Aus unserer Werbung Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

RE-RELEASING FOR WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH. From 1912 the WSPU – the Pankhurst Suffragettes – are out of control and dangerous. But that is not how they're remembered. Anyone who disagrees with the violence either leaves or is thrown out. Whatever they later claim about their ‘wonderful leadership', it is their young, poor members who are inventing new and increasingly dangerous ways of intimidating the government. The WSPU leadership claims it never threatened life, only property, but this is manifestly not true. Axes are thrown, full theatres set on fire, bombs put on trains, acid poured into mail-boxes and the leaders do nothing to contain this ‘terrorism' with deadly intent.
