One of the methods legal used by the suffragists to try and obtain the vote were demonstrations. Demonstrations were a good way for the suffragists to draw attention to there cause, because they tended to get a lot of publicity. Furthermore, as many thousands would attend these events, from different suffrage societies, and different social backgrounds it helped to show unity in the movement. The first big suffrage demonstration organised by the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) took place in February 1907, and became known as the Mud March because of the torrential rain, which poured down on the demonstrators. More then 3,000 people attended the march, and despite the rain it was considered a great success, and brought a lot of publicity because it showed respectable women marching in the mud, which was seen in Victorian times as unladylike behaviour, and they risked there reputation and even there jobs. The Mud March inspired other demonstrations like on held on a Sunday in 1908. 25,000 people attended, from half a dozen venues, and was one of the largest demonstrations held. This demonstration was important because it showed unity within the suffrage movement. Demonstrations were a good way for suffragists to draw attention to there cause and they created a lot of needed publicity. However by 1908 women still did not have the vote, so the successfulness of such protests were questionable.
