Answer 2

The correct answer is: "suffragettes"

The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) was a movement integrated only by women that functioned in the UK between 1903 and 1917, claiming for voting rights for women. They used civil disobedience and direct action techniques to make the demands visible: they organized demonstration, broke glass in official buildings, did hunger strikes, occupied houses and churches, etc.

The women that constituted this movement were known as suffragettes.
