The campaign initiated to raise awareness for women's suffrage in the UK was the women's suffrage movement, particularly prominent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Groups like the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), founded by Emmeline Pankhurst, utilized both peaceful protests and militant tactics to demand voting rights. The movement garnered considerable attention and led to landmark legislative changes, ultimately achieving partial suffrage for women in 1918, granting the right to vote to women over 30, and later extending it in 1928.
