Suffragist, not suffragette
I was surprised to hear the word "suffragette" used repeated to refer to people who supported the right of women to vote.
"Suffragette" was a patronizing word used to brand radical female activists, while "suffragist" is the more general term to describe men and women of all political stripes in the movement. It's a fine distinction, but surely a teacher would use the correct term and encourage students to do the same. Does the book make the same mistake?
I suspect that David Bowie's "Suffragette City" has forever clouded the distinction. Oh well, Bowie rocks!
