Amidst the bustling crowds of Petticoat Lane in 1856, women in petticoats and shawls obediently followed the rules of the marketplace. Fast forward to Shepherds Abiding in the Field, a tranquil painting depicting the peaceful compliance of shepherds with nature. Contrastingly, at Griff Hollows in Nuneaton during the early 20th century, law-abiding suffragists gathered, their determination to obey the law contrasting with the militant actions of their counterparts. In the historic Suffrage Pilgrimage of 1913, led by the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS), thousands of law-abiding women marched in unison, their obedience to the cause a powerful statement. Yet, alongside this peaceful movement, the Law Abiding vs Militants debate raged on, highlighting the complexities of the suffrage struggle.
