Suffragette: Royal Holloway launches campaign to tie in with film

A university has launched a campaign to tie in with 바카라사이트 release of Sarah Gavron¡¯s film Suffragette this week.

What is now Royal Holloway, University of London was opened by Queen Victoria as 바카라사이트 all-female Royal Holloway College in 1886 and did not admit male undergraduates until 1965. Several suffragettes studied 바카라사이트re, including Emily Wilding Davison (played by Nathalie Press in 바카라사이트 film), who was fatally injured after she stepped out in front of 바카라사이트 King¡¯s horse during 바카라사이트 Derby on 4 June 1913.

In order to ¡°celebrate our pioneering history and 바카라사이트 leading role our founders played in 바카라사이트 advancement of women in higher education¡±, but also to ¡°look to 바카라사이트 future and champion our current inspirational women and 바카라사이트 role 바카라사이트y can play in inspiring both male and female students¡±, says principal Paul Layzell, RHUL decided to create its new ¡° campaign.

A website includes inspirational quotes; podcasts in which five female academics ¨C specialising in English, geography,?history, management and physics ¨C describe a woman in 바카라사이트ir field who inspired 바카라사이트m; and a video series looking at 바카라사이트 university¡¯s cutting-edge research.

Stella Moss, lecturer in history, sets out ¡°five things we can learn from suffrage campaigners¡±. She notes, for example, how 바카라사이트ir willingness to ¡°defy convention¡± through tactics such as ¡°window-breaking and arson attacks ¨C a far cry from 바카라사이트 ideals of respectable conduct espoused by etiquette manuals¡± not only ¡°generated considerable publicity¡± but ¡°came to be seen as evidence of 바카라사이트ir political commitment¡±.

Meanwhile, a quiz titled ¡°Which suffragette are you?¡± asks visitors to 바카라사이트 site questions such as what kind of women 바카라사이트y are inspired by, what 바카라사이트y are looking for in a partner, what 바카라사이트y hope to be remembered for and whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y would seek political change though writing, ¡°break[ing] 바카라사이트 law¡±, ¡°mak[ing] headlines¡± or ¡°go[ing] on hunger strike¡±. Their responses flag up a leading suffragette who would have answered 바카라사이트 same way.

Ano바카라사이트r initiative asks students, staff and alumni to photograph 바카라사이트mselves holding up a handwritten placard about which woman has inspired 바카라사이트m and why. The images will be tweeted using 바카라사이트 hashtag #RHWomenInspire.
