Recalling the centenary of the first vote cast by a woman, Carolina Beatriz Ângelo, in Portugal, we intend to mark the occasion by placing it within the context of domestic and foreign backgrounds related to the issue of female suffrage. Through the attendance of British feminists in Portugal, or by way of the voices and echoes of their positions, the Anglo-Portuguese framework in light of women's suffrage will be highlighted, as well as the historical event of May 28, 1911, which, despite having occurred in Lisbon, saw its frontiers being largely broadened. The Pankhurst family, in particular, was the recipient of harsh and unfair criticism from the detractors of suffragism and feminisms, even though there were also those who dared to raise their voices in its defense. Thus, we attempted to underline some of the most iconic excerpts, so as to define the contours around which the dispute took place, both in the UK and abroad.
