  The Aftermath of Suffrage

  What Happened After the Vote Was Won?

  Ce colloque ambitionne d'apporter de nouveaux éclairages en histoire du genre et en histoire politique en s'intéressant à la période consécutive à l'obtention du droit de vote par les femmes britanniques. Il s'agira de considérer comment les héritages contestés des mouvements pour le droite de vote des femmes et pour le suffrage universel ont influé sur les débats dans l'entre-deux-guerres sur les questions de représentation politique, de réforme démocratique, de division sexuelle du travail en politique et d'inclusion très graduelle des femmes dans l'arène politique nationale en Grande-Bretagne.

  Freemasonry in Radical and Social Movements 1700-2000

  There have been many links between freemasonry and progressive movements of all kinds. This is most evident in European countries such as France and Spain, where freemasonry has been one of the main vehicles of secular republican thought and has been closely identified with socialist movements. Although mainstream English-speaking freemasonry prohibits the discussion of religion and politics, nevertheless it has had a significant influence on radical politics and social movements. Many radical groups, such as the United Irishmen, adopted masonic forms of organisation and included many freemasons. There are many parallels between masonic organisation and symbolism and that of early friendly societies and trade unions.
