❤️In memory of Faith Ringgold 1930 - April 13th 2024 ❤️ "I just decided, when someone says you can't do something. DO MORE OF IT." - Faith Ringgold, African-American artist #womensart
#OTD in 1913, the Home Office banned WSPU open-air meetings. In retaliation, the house of Arthur Du Gros, (anti-suffrage MP for St. Leonards) was set on fire and destroyed by suffragettes.
#Archive30 #ArchiveAnimals Suffragettes were often portrayed as cats It was thought that portraying campaigners as such would imply the idea of women voting as absurd: cats were seen as passive, feminine & ineffectual. There may also have been a nod to the 1913 Cat & Mouse Act
Thrilled to announce that I’ve collaborated with community artist & illustrator Hazel East of Dashing East to fundraise for @MancWomensAid & @PankhurstCentre via Pankhurst Trust. We are selling copies of a suffragette glassbreakers map. Find out more: jennifergodfrey.co.uk
