Extending the Suffrage: The Digitisation of The Women's Library Suffrage Banners

ike many political movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Suffragettes and Suffragists made great use of colourful banners in their marches and parades. The illustration below, celebrating the achievements of Florence Nightingale, features one of the banners, probably used in a march of 1908 and organised by the peaceable National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (by Alastair Dunning, AHDS, 2001).
