suffragette
- /ˌsʌf.ɹəˈd͡ʒɛt/ UK, US
Rhymes with -ɛt
Where it comes from
From suffrage + -ette, first used as a derisive label by the Daily Mail in 1906, but eventually adopted by the WSPU itself.
noun suffragettes
- A female supporter, often militant, of women's right to vote in the early 20th century, especially in Great Britain. Perhaps no single location resonates for women’s rights campaigners today as much as Holloway, the first female-only prison, where militant suffragettes were incarcerated, went on hunger strike and were savagely force-fed.
