Securing women the right to vote was a long time coming. Over the years, some aspects of the suffrage movement changed, and some things remained the same. Pupils research three time periods and collect evidence of key people, strategies, arguments, conflicts, and obstacles bout women's suffrage. They then reflect on what might explain why things either stayed the same or differed from one time period to another.
