Poem suggesting women should stop ranting and look after the children instead.

A collection of provocative anti Suffragette postcards have come to light to reveal the extent of the prejudice the movement faced when attempting to secure women the right to vote.

The postcards, which date from 1908 to 1912, portray the campaigners led by Lady Emmeline Pankhurst as violent, unruly, domineering and lazy.

One shows two Suffragettes attacking a policeman, while another implies they were lazy and made their husbands do all the chores.

There is a photo of a whining baby with the caption 'I want my vote', with campaigners also portrayed as preaching parrots.
