Suffragette will mobilise e.g. these 'pious' types (9)

I believe the answer is:

tartuffes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pious types' is the definition.
The definition suggests a plural noun which matches the answer.

'suffragette will mobilise e g these' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'e' could be 'es' ('Es' can be a synonym of 'e') and 'es' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
