Norwich women's grain protest
1532 protest in Norwich
On 20 July 1532, a group of women seized sacks of grain from various men in the English city of Norwich, took them to market cross in the centre of the city, and sold them below the price set by city magistrates. Ten of the women were sentenced by the mayor's court to be "tied at the cart's tail and whipped surely with whips around the market", though six of these women instead paid a fine.
