These demonstrations offer an opportunity to examine the nature of militancy and explore some of the chief themes of suffragette historiography.
One was that police methods had become more effective, keeping crowds moving and preventing suffragettes from driving up and holding their own meetings.
The passions which might have been aroused by forcible feeding could not be mobilized on the suffragettes' side.
But the suffragette mythology visibly fails to explain the events of 1909-10.
The pattern of itinerant militancy continued even though rank-and-file suffragettes were practising it.
What the suffragette army lacked was not discipline, but numbers, and a coherent strategy.
It greatly increased the psychological pressure on all sides, and threatened to discredit the government by allowing suffragettes to evade the penalties of the law.
Its secondary purpose was to get suffragettes into prison.
