The purpose of this study is to examine how the American and British women's suffrage movements constructed an alternative political culture of resistance through the appropriation and manipulation of public space. Such appropriation was expressed in three areas of visual culture: print propaganda, specifically the publication of handbills, leaflets, postcards, and posters; the merchandising of suffrage iconography by suffrage organizations and retailers; street theatre, particularly parades, pageantry, demonstrations, and picketing; and individual acts of terrorism on the part of British suffragettes. While it would appear that both movements have been exhaustively researched, a comparative study of the Anglo-American suffrage movements and its construction of an alternative political culture of resistance has never been examined contemporaneously. An alternative political culture is a movement that is initiated as the result of exclusion by the dominant political culture. Alternative political culture described the American and British suffrage campaigns because it was organized specifically to challenge the Anglo-American Governments. The suffrage culture allowed women to act like political subjects by engaging in a variety of political strategies in the public sphere to further the feminist goal of suffrage. In their struggle for enfranchisement, suffrage activists aggressively demanded access to the public sphere. To counter the radical nature of this public appeal, militants and constitutionalists alike, incorporated idealized feminine imagery into their campaign strategies. Even at the height of Anglo-American suffrage militancy and confrontations with mobs and police, suffrage activists appeared in proper ladylike attire. There is considerable evidence of an esprit de corps among suffrage activists, however, there are indications that it was not sufficient to sustain a feminist consolidation after achieving enfranchisement. Finding common ground in the 1920s proved elusive. By allowing the culture of resistance to be assimilated into the mainstream political culture as a result of a formal recognition of women's political subjectivity, the feminist movement disintegrated in both the United States and Britain.
