I disapprove of Mrs True’s use of violence here

Nah, you don't get to approve oppressed people's struggle for equality. Though it's complicated with the suffragette movement.

btw, here's the bolshevik monument the article mentions. It was never built.

Did women use violence to get the right to vote?

It's more complicated in the US as the suffragette movement was used to kill the suffragist movement; by giving white women the right to vote, they were able to break the early solidarity between wealthier white women and the movements for black people, poor people, catholics, etc.

In the UK the suffragette movement involved a campaign of bombing, arson, and attacks/kidnappings of politicians.

Looks like a cross between the Eiffel Tower and a roller coaster.

Also, OP needs to understand the difference between punching down and punching up.
