A Day in the Life of a Suffragette (1908)

Women are as good as men. They are even better than men. Thus a crowd of common women are making speeches, and drunk with their own words and getting up to battle pitch, they start forth into the street armed with banners rapidly made and screaming revolutionary songs. They march against a police patrol, who are endeavoring to bar the way. The female onslaught is so powerful that the poor policemen fall sprawling on the ground, and as the female wave sweeps over their prostrate bodies they have reason to regret their rash attempt. Encouraged by their first success; our suffragettes go on their way, their number getting bigger at every street turn, until things take an alarming aspect: the militia is called out, and after a comic struggle between women and soldiers, the whole female force to marched into custody and locked up for the night. The next morning the subdued women are seen coming out of jail and meekly following their husbands on their way back to their domestic duties.
