was the difference between the suffergets and the sufferists for womens rights in the 19th century?

Answer 1

The name of "suffragette" originated in Britain's women's suffrage movement. It originally referred to a radical faction of the movement including the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). This may be a really stupid reference, but if you've ever seen the movie "Mary Poppins," the mother of the kids considers herself a suffragette and talks about militant behavior among women, handcuffing themselves to poles, marching and demanding their rights, etc.

The term "suffragist" applied to men and women, both radical and conservative. This was the preferred title of American women because it was more inclusive. Also, the term "suffragette" took on a negative connotation in the States because of the feminine ending (think "rockette").

Both groups fought for the same rights for women (vote, property rights, inheritance rights, representation, etc.)

I think the Wikipedia articles will help. Links below ...

The main difference is that the Suffragists believed in peaceful, non-violent protest. By contrast, the Suffragettes were into stuff like throwing bricks and turning rats loose at polling places.
