The British campaign for women’s suffrage was experienced and performed in the public spaces, streets, and prisons of Britain’s cities. My interdisciplinary project is the first to examine the lived experiences of suffragettes, combining feminist phenomenology and conflict archaeology approaches. The feminist phenomenology surveys include explorations of sites of militancy, imprisonment, and memorialization developing an understanding of the lived experiences of suffragettes. Material culture analyses include research into the military-like memorabilia used by suffragettes, exploring their understandings of their militant structures. This approach integrates two fields – conflict archaeology and women’s history – working to address gaps in both.
