Landscapes of violence: sites and spaces of the Women’s Social and Political Union, contested labels of conflict, and female acts of violence

Through the development of an entirely unique and interdisciplinary approach combining theories and ideas from phenomenology, psychogeography, and conflict archaeology, this thesis investigates the landscapes of the militant suffragettes of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) across two cities, Manchester and Glasgow. Using landscape surveys of the two cities examining the spaces and sites relevant to the suffragettes and their militancy, this project explores ideas of gender, experience, and conflict through the lens of the suffragettes.
