We're proud to fly the Oxford Women's Suffrage flag this month, in honour of International Women's Day and those members of our college who were proud suffragists and suffragettes.
This is the banner of the Oxford Women Students’ Society for Women’s Suffrage (1911). It represented '‘Oxford as a golden city, with towers and pinnacles true to life, against a background of sky and dark blue hills'. #WHM2024 @OxfordHistory @UniofOxford @OxfordStudents
