Murder at the Villa Madeira | The scandalous case of Alma Rattenbury and the deadly love triangle

The Suffragettes were far more deadly than you think. These courageous and brave women set about learning how to fight war like men did and then, they beat them at their own game. Often dumbed down in later years, the suffragettes militant campaign was extensive, terrifying and effective. The only thing that stopped these women from winning the vote with violent tactics was a little thing called World War One! 
Today on Macabre London and our final in this four part series, we uncover the Militancy of the Suffragettes and how they used EXPLOSIVE tactics to win the vote.
This is part four in my industrial revolution / Suffragette series - episode one is here: https://youtu.be/X-skf7cLV0E

The Violent Female Terrorists That The IRA copied! | The EXPLOSIVE Fight To Win The Vote

300 women were penned into parliament square and thrown to the mercy of the male crowd and given the order to "Do with them as they wished" This violent assault lasted 6 hours and unarmed women were beaten, attacked and then arrested all because they wanted their cry of "Votes For Women" to be heard! On part 3 of our Suffragette series we take a look at the bitter battle of Black Friday and the turning point in the campaign to gain the female vote. 
The 1800's ushered in a new way of life for everyone and the Industrial Revolution wasn't called that just because of the machines. This new reign of technology heralded in a new era in workers rights or in fact highlighted that...there were none! Pair this with the fact that only 4500 men in England were allowed to vote, this meant working class people had no say in what happened to them and they were angry! 
Today on Macabre London, we uncover Black Friday, an event which made the gentle suffragettes turn to violence all in the name of gaining the vote.

The Physical Fight For The Vote! SUFFRAGETTES Beaten By POLICE on orders from WINSTON CHURCHILL

What does a taxidermied man have to do with women getting the vote? Well, as it turns out, quite a lot!  The 1800's ushered in a new way of life for everyone and the Industrial Revolution wasn't called that just because of the machines. This new reign of technology heralded in a new era in workers rights or in fact highlighted that...there were none! Pair this with the fact that only 4500 men in England were allowed to vote, this meant working class people had no say in what happened to them and they were angry!  However, a new way of thinking was making it's way into parliament and that was because of a now taxidermied man who lived in a case...
Today on Macabre London, we uncover the origins of the women's suffrage movement and the path to the universal vote.

A Taxidermied Man Helped Women Get the Vote? | The Formation Of The Suffragettes

The Industrial Revolution was a new way of life for everyone. This new reign of machines heralded in a new era in workers rights or in fact highlighted that...there were none! Pair this with the fact that only 4000 men in England were allowed to vote, this meant working class people had no say in what happened to them and the only people who did, had no idea what it was like to be them. People had had enough and it was time to make their voices heard...this however would result in a battle which...well the outcome of which, isn't what you would expect. 
Today on Macabre London (and Manchester) , we uncover the origins of the Industrial Revolution and the horrors of The Peterloo Massacre
