What is it about?
In this article, I use Ghassan Hage's theories about tolerance to expose the powerful role that English nationalism played in suffrage politics at a time when nearly all the focus was on the disruptive influence of Irish nationalism.

Why is it important?
Irish nationalism has been blamed for corroding the relationship between Irish and British militant feminists in the early twentieth century. In this article, I find that feminist loyalty to a virulent strain of English nationalism directed the nature of English-Irish militant entanglements.
Perspectives
In this year of centenary suffrage commemorations, and ongoing tensions over Brexit, it is important to examine suffrage politics and the relationship between Irish and British nationalism much more closely.
