"Suffrage: A Fierce Fight for Equality and Empowerment" In the early 20th century, a wave of change swept through society as women fought tirelessly for their right to vote. Like a suffragette cat with claws sharpened, they scratched and fought against the oppressive forces that denied them their basic rights. Dressed in hats adorned with flags, suffragettes proudly displayed their determination to challenge the status quo. They even turned their cause into an engaging board game called PANK-A-SQUITH, where players strategized to overcome obstacles just like these brave activists did. The movement gained momentum with the establishment of feminist newspapers such as the English Suffragette in 1908. These publications served as powerful platforms for spreading awareness and rallying support among women across the nation.

Led by remarkable figures like Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, they fearlessly challenged societal norms and shattered glass ceilings along the way.

U badge represented unity within this sisterhood fighting relentlessly for change. Together, they formed an unbreakable bond that would withstand any obstacle thrown at them. But it wasn't just about protests; suffragettes armed themselves not only with words but also self-defense techniques like Jiu-Jitsu – empowering themselves physically while advocating for political power too. Through it all, one message rang clear: "I Want My Vote.
