Role in suffrage movement

Alderman became the chairwoman of Preston WSPU and recognised the challenge for women in her era to take up activism, when responsible for homes and families ^[2] . She was with a delegation which attended the 1907 Women's Parliament. Alderman was one of the crowd who hid in a furniture van as the women's movement charged at the St Stephen's Entrance to Westminster, and she was sentenced to a month in Holloway Prison.

In 1909, Alderman and Edith Rigby, Beth Hesmondhalgh, Rosamund Massy and Margaret Hewitt held meetings across the city of Preston prior to Winston Churchill's event on 3rd December. They spoke up against Churchill's stance on women's rights.

On the evening of the event, at which women were being excluded, she and Edith Rigby, Beth Hesmondhalgh, and Catherine Worthington arrived at the door and were refused entry, but would not leave so were again taken away by the police as described in an article in Votes for Women 19 Nov 1909 p116.^[1]

Later Life

Alderman wrote about the experiences of Preston suffragettes to Mr R. Fowler of Fulwood in 1964 ^[3], shortly before she died in 1968 in Essex.^[1]
