The Women Writers' Suffrage League (WWSL) was an organisation in the United Kingdom formed in 1908 by Cicely Hamilton and Bessie Hatton. The organisation stated that it wanted "to obtain the Parliamentary Franchise for women on the same terms as it is, or may be, granted to men. Its methods are the methods proper to writers – the use of the pen." The organisation viewed itself as a writers' group rather than a literary society. Membership was not based on literary merit, but instead was granted to anyone who had published and sold a written work. Members also paid an annual subscription fee of 2s. 6d. The league was inclusive and welcomed writers of all genders, classes, genres, and political persuasions provided they were pro-suffrage. By 1911 the league was composed of conservatives, liberals and socialists, women of power and women who worked hard and members of the military. The league disbanded on 24 January 1919 following the passing Representation of the People Bill in February 1918, granting women over the age of 30 the right to vote. The offices of the League were located at 55 Bernes St, Oxford St, W. This group made clear their hatred for androcentrism, reading and revising well known works that marginalised women. They discussed current problems within society and came to a common conclusion; after the meetings they made these problems public so that people would be aware of what was happening. They sought to influence political and social changes through literature. Activities The WWSL had members from across the political spectrum, and therefore did not participate in some political demonstrations. Activities of the WWSL included: Annual General Meetings At-Homes held in members's homes or in hotels and offices, during which the WWSL goals and activities were discussed Plays and pageants, together with the Actresses's Franchise League Fundraisers, including a bookstall at the Women's Social and Political Union exhibition Literary contests for the best suffrage literature A library at a military hospital in Endell Street, London, set up by Elizabeth Robins, Bessie Hatton, and Beatrice Harraden. More than 100 members of the WWSL also marched in the "Great Demonstration" of 21 June 1908, which was organised by the Women's Social and Political Union. Members of the WWSL wore scarlet and white badges with quills. Members also joined marches in July 1910 and June 1911. Contributions in newspapers Members of the WWSL contributed to
