Window smashing

Would someone please write here about window smashing and arson? I've found that that an a9.com search for "window smashing" suffragette gets good results if you click on the "book results". Everyone loves suffragettes but very few people knew they were so non-compliant as to break windows! Contemporary window smashers could sure be seen in a more historically honest light if more people knew about window smashing suffragettes. So please, would someone do a write up?

I've added "window-smashing" to the article based on a couple of accounts I found. However, I didn't turn up much on the strategy behind window-smashing. I assume it was to: a) show outrage and defiance, b) make noise, c) do minor property damage, and thus, d) draw attention to the cause. Please go ahead and add details to the article.

the window smashing was as part of the sufferagettes' campaign of property damage, whuich was done in the hope of drawing attention to their cause.--Sstabeler July 4, 2005 19:06 (UTC)

Today, the term suffragette is considered to be diminutive and disrespectful. Suffragist is the preferred term.

This is incorrect.
