Urgent help with a level history

[Stilllivinginazoo]

My DD needs to come up with a question for a specific time period in history(of her choice) which has a good historical debate with reputable sources and interpretations she can analyse
She wanted to do something regarding social class influence and jack the ripper but was rejected as not enough debate material.
It needs to be a minimum 4000 words and she would rather not do something already studied at GCSE(medicine through time,American civil rights,American West,elizabethans).
Anyone have any good ideas?

Something about the Suffragettes/ Suffragists & their more extreme methods?!

What about posing a question like:

The Industrial Revolution was the biggest contributor to social inequality in the last 500 years.

She could could talk about it created jobs and have sources that point to people making a better life for themselves and also look at the rising level of slum living, exploitation of workers etc.

Basically if she poses anything as a statement like that, she will be able to find sources on both sides.

It really depends what period interests her, that's very personal.

It depends what books and journals she has access to, as well as what she is interested in.

I was going to say whether war advances women’s rights (could look at suffrage movement and debates about the extent it was women’s war work which actually led to the vote). How revolutionary was the industrial revolution? Or the main causes of the industrial revolution (An old one and plenty of literature on that).
I see other posters have variations on those themes. But I understood historical debate to be where historians have debated the question (like the controversies over the causes of WW1), and she analyses their arguments, not that your Dd is debating both sides of a question she poses. There is a difference so it would be good to clarify.

Whether public health or nutrition led to mortality decline in the nineteenth century? (mcKeown v Szreter and some other people since)

Whether ‘separate spheres’ is a useful way of understanding gender roles in the nineteenth century?

I teach A level History and this exact coursework. Her teacher should be offering clear guidance on her various options as much will be dictated by the resources available to her (she'll need a minimum of 5 historical works, ideally 7-9)
Most of my students opt for something related to the Nazi regime, US Civil Rights or the reformation of the Church in the 16th century.
The priority is finding something that is disputed and the more strenuously the better as comparison is more straightforward.

The impact of the trade unions in the inter war period is really interesting and probably very apt!

Not sure if you were limited to social class but something about slave trade and abolitionists?

Mine studied the causes of World War 1 for his last year. I’m not much of a historian myself so not sure quite how it works but he had to use several sources and discuss all their points of view.

Not sure I agree that there isn't enough on Jack the Ripper if it was extended to violence against women.

Medical treatment of Victorian women is fascinating.

Shouldn’t these have been submitted already?

and shouldn't the student be doing her own history coursework including working out the focus if it and its title
