Campaign of Arson 1912

In 1912, suffragettes shifted to militant tactics, using arson and property damage to gain attention. They targeted government properties, including post boxes and railway carriages, and used symbolic acts like burning slogans into golf courses. High-profile acts, such as slashing a painting and bombing a house, eventually drew media attention to their cause.
