Black and white photograph of a group of nine women in a narrow passageway. Some are sitting on window sills and one is perched on the lower rung of a ladder. They are dressed in tunics and dresses. One woman, thought to be the former suffragette Lilian Lenton, is partially hidden by the woman on the ladder.

White fabric, embroidered with the signature of Lilian Lenton.

On #InternationalWomensDay we've been discovering traces of women in our collections who fought for equality.

Lilian Lenton appears in our Dalcroze Society archives, but was also a prominent suffragette.

An elaborate illuminated certificate signed by Emmeline Pankhurst on 16 September 1908 on behalf of the WSPU. It was presented to Florence Haig, Maud Joachim, Elsie Howey, Mary Philips and Vera Wentworth for their prison sentences and hunger strikes. In a circle at the top are two figures blowing trumpets and a third holding a banner reading "FREEDOM" in front of blue mountains. Below it is the inscription with an elaborate large gold "TO" at the start. The whole background is covered by a floral motif with the suffragettes' symbols of prison bars and a prisoner's arrow.

Emmeline's HCR sheet from her CRO record, including a photograph, the remark "Suffragette", a note of her discharge under the so-called 'Cat and Mouse' Act of 1913, and a list of her convictions (the first of which was on 14 May 1912 at the Old Bailey, nine months for conspiracy).

Sylvia's HCR sheet from her CRO record, including a photograph of her at an easel, the job "Artist", the remark "Suffragette", a note of her discharge under the so-called 'Cat and Mouse' Act of 1913, and a list of her convictions (the first being on 24 October 1906 at Westminster Police Court for "Insulting behaviour", 24 shilling fine or 20 days' imprisonment).

A William Hartley sketch showing four people in the dock at Westminster Police Court in 1912, namely (from left to right) Mabel Tuke, Emmeline Pankhurst and Emmeline and Frederick Pethick-Lawrence. He is in a suit and all three women are in large and/or elaborate hats. The two Emmelines have their hands in muffs. Mabel Tuke was honorary secretary of the WSPU and friend of both Emmelines. The lesser-known Emmeline had founded and edited the publication Votes for Women whilst her barrister husband Frederick published it. The image probably relates to the three's trial for window smashing - the husband and wife had disagreed with that tactic and Frederick had even been expelled from the WSPU for doing so.

We have a 1908 certificate awarded by Emmeline Pankhurst (possibly seized in evidence by the Met), Habitual Criminals Register sheets for her and Sylvia (similar records are at the National Archives) and two courtroom sketches of her. #HeForShe #IWD #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2026 #suffragettes

Celebrating suffragettes from York

Key York suffragettes were Annie Coultate, Violet Key Jones, Emma Fitch, Agnes Smith, Millicent Garrett Fawcett, and Ann Swaine

Methods used then against the now-honoured suffragettes and suffragists are similar to methods used against modern protestors.

This #InternationalWomen'sDay, may the legacy of the brave women of York remind us - our rights are fought for, not just given to us
