The history of British feminism is an interesting one. One thing that never gets talked about in popular discourse, is that many former suffragettes ended up becoming fascists. This undoubtedly had an affect on post-suffragette feminism in the UK. Emmeline Pankhurst, the founder of the WSPU, the organization that started the suffragette movement, expelled all socialists from the organization after WW1. She then became an anti-communist, and many former suffragettes flocked to fascism during the 1930s. Most people don’t even know that many of them even ended up holding positions in the British Union of Fascists.

And here’s an interesting bit from Wikipedia that ties this together:

In the 2020s, the Suffragette flag began to be increasingly used by British feminists protesting against transgender rights; Ria Patel, the spokesperson on diversity and equality for the Green Party of England and Wales, argued that this use “claims a lineage that goes back to Mary Wollstonecraft, who authored Vindication of the Rights of Women (and like most writers of the time used ‘sex’ to describe both biology, sexual orientation and gender expression), but often uses the language of Suffragette and post-Suffragette feminism”.
