The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) presented medals to suffragettes who had gone on hunger strike in prison as a form of protest. This interesting worksheet asks the children to draw their own medal (using the green and purple colours of the WSPU if they can). Do they think the WSPU should have given medals to hunger strikers?
During World War I, women took on many hard labour jobs - like shovelling coal - that had previously only been undertaken by men. Perhaps the kids can do some research on the sorts of roles that women took up as the men went to the Front, and write about them on this story paper page.
Brave women drove ambulances at the Front during World War I, and back at home too. Learn a little about them here and then use this story paper to tell their story, or make up a story about an experience.
Use this story paper for children to tell the story of women's police service during WWI, colouring in the picture too. We've provided some information about the Women's Police Service here.
