Explanation

This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 2 Section A: Thematic studies, then anchor the answer in Part four: Equality and rights. The evidence should connect to Study women's rights, including suffrage campaign reasons, methods and responses, the Pankhursts, franchise extension and progress towards equality in the second half and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.

Common mistake

A common mistake is to write about Pankhursts as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in c1170 to the present day.

Anchor the answer to Part four: Equality and rights, use precise evidence, and state whether Pankhursts is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
