The image is a historical black-and-white photograph featuring four women standing in a row. Each woman is dressed in dark, flowing garments, which appear to be cloaks or robes, and they are adorned with head coverings that resemble bonnets or hoods. The women are positioned in front of a large, multi-story building with numerous windows. The architecture of the building suggests it may be from the late 19th or early 20th century. Each woman is holding a walking stick, and they are standing in a formal pose, suggesting they might be part of a group or organization. The image also contains text at the top, which reads "MRS. JOHN BOLDT, MRS. MAY MORGAN, MISS DOCK, MISS CRAFT," indicating the names of the individuals depicted. The overall tone of the photograph is formal and historical.

Kew Gardens is a botanic garden in southwest London that houses the "largest and most diverse botanical and mycological collections in the world". Founded in 1759, from the exotic garden at Kew Park, its living collections include some of the 27,000 taxa curated by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, while the herbarium, one of the largest in the world, has over 8.5 million preserved plant and fungal specimens. The library contains more than 750,000 volumes, and the illustrations collection contains more than 175,000 prints and drawings of plants. It is one of London's top tourist attractions and is a World Heritage Site.

The image is a black-and-white photograph depicting the aftermath of a fire in a park or garden area. The scene is labeled at the bottom as "TEA HOUSE, KEW GARDEN, BURNED BY SUFFRAGETTES." The area appears devastated, with scattered debris and charred remnants of what was once a structure. The foreground shows broken chairs and tables, and the ground is littered with ashes and debris.

In the background, there is a tall tower or spire visible through the haze, suggesting the photograph was taken in a park with historical or notable landmarks. The trees surrounding the area are bare, indicating that the photo was likely taken in winter or early spring. There are a few people in the background, appearing small in comparison to the devastation, and they seem to be observing the scene. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of destruction and abandonment.

Lilian Ida Lenton was an English dancer and militant suffragette, and later a winner of a French Red Cross medal for her service as an orderly in World War I. She committed crimes, including arson, for the suffragette cause. In 1970 she was invited to unveil the Suffragette Memorial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilian_Lenton

Olive Wharry was an English artist, arsonist and suffragette, who in 1913 was imprisoned with Lilian Lenton for burning down the tea pavilion at Kew Gardens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_Wharry

The image depicts the aftermath of a fire in a tea house located within Kew Gardens. The structure is completely destroyed, with only the skeletal remains of its framework visible. The debris consists of charred and broken wooden beams and supports, scattered across the ground. The ground appears to be bare earth, and there is a long coiled hose lying on the ground, suggesting that efforts were made to put out the fire. The background shows a few trees, indicating that the scene is set in an outdoor area. The photograph is in black and white, typical of historical images, and the caption at the bottom reads: "TEA HOUSE, KEN GARDEN, DESTROYED BY SUFFRAGETTES." The image has a slightly aged appearance, consistent with its historical context.

(March 1912) Damage done by London Suffragettes [between ca. 1910 and ca. 1915]

London is the capital and largest city of both England and the United Kingdom, with a population of 9.1 million people in 2024. Its wider metropolitan area is the largest in Western Europe, with a population of 15.1 million. London stands on the River Thames in southeast England, at the head of a 50-mile (80 km) tidal estuary down to the North Sea, and has been a major settlement for nearly 2,000 years. Its ancient core and financial centre, the City of London, was founded by the Romans as Londinium and has retained its medieval boundaries. The City of Westminster, to the west of the City of London, has been the centuries-long host of the national government and parliament. London grew rapidly in the 19th century, becoming the world's largest city at the time. Since the 19th century the name "London" has referred to the metropolis around the City of London, historically split between the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire, which since 1965 has largely comprised the administrative area of Greater London, governed by 33 local authorities and the Greater London Authority.

The image depicts a historical street scene, likely from the early 20th century, given the fashion and architecture. It shows a corner shop with a sign that reads "LONDON STEREOSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHIC COY LTD." The shop's facade is ornate, with decorative ironwork above the windows and a large display window showcasing various items, possibly stereoscopic views or photographic prints. The shop appears to have been damaged, as indicated by the text on the top of the image stating "MARCH 1912 DAMAGE DONE BY LONDON SUFFRAGETTES." This suggests that the shop was vandalized during a suffragette protest.

Several individuals are seen in front of the shop. They are dressed in period-appropriate attire, with men wearing suits and hats and women wearing long dresses and hats. The scene is set on a wet street, reflecting the rain, and the overall atmosphere conveys a sense of historical context and urban life.

The image is a historical black-and-white photograph of a storefront in London, dated 1912. The shop is labeled with the name "Lionel Marks" and has the address "31" above the entrance. The storefront has a large display window showcasing mannequins dressed in formal attire, likely for women, with some clothing items laid out on the floor. The display window is marked with a large "X" and the words "Suffragette Damage" written on it, indicating that the shop was vandalized by suffragettes, a group advocating for women's suffrage. The shop's interior appears to have ornate decorations, including a chandelier and intricate metalwork on the door frame. Two men are standing in the doorway, seemingly observing the damage. The overall scene reflects the social and political tensions of the early 20th century, specifically related to the women's suffrage movement.

The image shows a historical scene of a group of women marching in a street protest. They are holding large, rectangular signs with bold text. The signs read "VOTES FOR WOMEN" and "MEETING," indicating that the event is related to the women's suffrage movement. The women are dressed in long, dark dresses typical of early 20th-century fashion, and some are wearing hats. The background shows a row of buildings, likely in an urban setting, and there are a few men in the background, some of whom appear to be watching or observing the event. The photograph has a sepia tone, suggesting it is an older image. The text at the bottom of the image identifies the location as "SUFFRAGETTES, LONDON."

History

Love this junction box mural in the Govan area of Glasgow celebrating the life of the Glaswegian suffragette, rent strike organiser, activist and politician Helen Crawfurd (1877 to 1954). It was created by Protests and Suffragettes in association with Impact Arts Craft Cafe and was commissioned by Yardworks.

A mural on a electrical junction box celebrating the life of Helen Crawfurd.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1917, a group of #suffragettes called the #SilentSentinels, which included #DorothyDay, were severely beaten at #Occoquan Workhouse in VA for picketing the White House. This changed public opinion, forcing Woodrow Wilson to endorse women's #RightToVote.

This free downloadable board game is a reprint of an original from 1909.

It looks like a really cool way to teach kids about the Suffragettes. 💪

En 1893, la Nouvelle-Zélande est le premier pays à accorder le droit de vote aux femmes.

🗣️ Leur débat du jour : Les enfants devraient-ils avoir le droit de vote ?

🙌 Le fait insolite du jour :

Un printemps 1925 qui chamboule la vie politique

Au printemps 1925, un parti politique ose présenter une dizaine de femmes aux élections municipales.
Un tollé pour l'époque, alors qu'elles ne possèdent pas (encore) le droit de vote.
Pourtant, elles seront élues, provoquant un chambardement de la société entière. Un premier pas qui en amène d'autres. Si leurs élections sont annulées par le Conseil d’État, elles figureront comme les pionnières en ce domaine, comme Marthe Tesson.
