Could have spent the entire day there! Theresa Garnett featured for giving Winston Churchill a whipping at Bristol Temple Meads train station. A Leeds lass she was! 🥹

A counted cross-stitch design I got on Etsy: A Votes for Women sash cutling and wrapping around a green, flowery, kite-shaped lapel pin. 2 peach flowers are off to each side.
Since it doesn't fit any of my embroidery hoops, this counted cross-stitch project will be a patch in a quilt that will include patches I purchased at In Other Words (feminist bookstore) & the Anarchist Book Fair etc.

newspaper photo of Flora Drummond and Annie Kenney being frog marched away from Number 10. Flora is in the foreground, and only comes to the shoulder of the policeman arresting her. Both women are white.
#OnThisDay, 9 Mar 1906, British suffragettes Flora Drummond and Annie Kenney repeatedly knock on the door of Number 10 Downing Street during a protest.
They were playing 'knock down ginger' on the Prime Minister. And were arrested for it.

Unfinished counted cross-stitch project: Pink, white, and blue suffrage sash around a green kite with a white flower in the center. I think it's a kite--it's shaped like one. Plus a couple of unfinished flowers.
First day of Women's History Month, & I'm making this. It looks a little weird, but it's a suffrage sash around a green kite. I think a kite.
Designer: Karen Hallion (khallion, Etsy).
I also started a gothic project w/only black DMC floss.

Absolutely delighted with the Suffragette display in the @NationalPortraitGallery – it was my first visit since the 2023 rehanging. Here are a few highlights.

WOMEN! The time has now come when women of all classes who desire the Parliamentary Franchise should demonstrate the sincerity of their demand. TAKE PART in this Procession and prove your earnestness in a manner both effective and constitutional. You will thus strengthen the hands of your supporters in Parliament. URGE ALL your friends to come, and by your numbers make the day memorable for ever, as one which convinced Parliament and the country ripe for your enfranchisement.
GREAT DEMONSTRATION Before the Opening of Parliament, to demand the Franchise. UNITED PROCESSION OF WOMEN On SATURDAY, FEB. 9th. To assemble in Hyde Park, Band Stand, Hyde Park Corner, at 2 p.m. It goes on to list speakers etc.

drawing of Margaret Brent demanding the right to sit on the council. A lot of artistic licence has been taken.
