As an American I know more about the suffrage movement on this side of the Atlantic, but I’ve recently been looking for information about the movement in Britain. This was an excellent article. Thanks!

[…] Rhian’s post, for Bad Reputation, looks more broadly at the cultural significance of the suffragettes and their commemoration in various media (including the fabulous “Sister Suffragette” from Mary Poppins). She ties Davison and the suffragettes in to the 100th anniversary of the 1911 census – which, as Rhian notes, the WSPU regarded as another campaigning opportunity.

In reply to Russell. Rob's series is about people who're a little less well known (on the whole) than Davison, who is at least mentioned in several GCSE syllabus textbooks. I did my A Level history coursework on the women's suffrage movement and she was definitely part o'that! I think if there are unsung heroes to be found among the suffrage campaigners they're probably working class women who were treated on the whole far worse in prison (as Lady Constance Lytton discovered when she was arrested in disguise) and women of colour. I've been trying to find out more about women of colour and the suffrage movement lately - so far the resources I've turned up online have been about the US movement, but I shall share these links: * article on Ida B Wells, lynchings in the US, and the Temperance movement * this photograph of two women on a stall

This post was by Rhian, not Rob, but can Emily Davison still join the super-team? She’s certainly awesome enough. I think Miranda’s pirates are probably a separate team.
