Suffragists wanted to continue with lobbying, marching, publishing, campaigning, etc.
Suffragettes said, 'We've done all that. It's got us nowhere. It's time to do something else'. The policy was to target property only, especially Government property, and to guard against killing or injuring people. This was the initial policy of the African National Congress. However, if you target enough property it is almost inevitable that you will kill or injure people.
When the First World War started in August 1914, both wings of the Suffrage Movement agreed to have a moratorium on ALL political activity for the duration of the war. Many of them contributed to the war effort, for example working in ammunition factories, which was very dangerous and had a high death rate. The bombs set by the Suffragettes did not kill anyone, but probably would have eventually if they had continued.
