The last of four programmes The Long March of the Suffragists The women in the United States who fought for the vote called themselves ' suffragists '. For years they paraded, lobbied, petitioned and argued for their cause. Then a break-away group introduced British suffragette tactics and gained considerable publicity by picketing the White House, being imprisoned, going on hunger-strike and being forcibly fed. Six American suffragists who strongly disagreed then about suffragist strategy - and who still disagree-tell of the final few years of their long, hard battle for the vote, a battle they finally won in 1920.
