<human>: I'm looking for information on the history of the suffragettes.
<bot>: The Suffrage movement was a series of campaigns that aimed to secure voting rights for women in the United Kingdom and other countries around the world. It began with the first wave of feminism in the late 19th century, but it wasn’t until the early 20th century that the movement really gained momentum. In 1907, Emmeline Pankhurst formed the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), which became the most influential organization in the campaign. The WSPU used direct action tactics such as marches, protests, hunger strikes, and arson attacks in order to achieve their goal. They were eventually successful in winning the right to vote in 1918, when women over the age of 30 were given the vote.
