Votes for Women Red Suffragette - Barbara

£14.99

This high-quality fabric decoration features a campaigner holding the famous banner under which the Suffragette movement coalesced: “Votes for Women”.

Suffragettes in red clothing are usually synonymous with non-violent activists, who did not believe in some of the more direct actions taken by other campaigners. The Suffragettes movement was founded in the early 20th century to campaign for women’s right to vote in public elections. The term began as a belittling insult in the press, but the activists adopted the name and continued their campaign. Though the movement was suspended when World War I broke out, its aims were eventually realised. Women over 30 and who owned property gained the right to vote in 1918, but it was another ten years before women gained full electoral equality with men.

St. Nicolas are a London-based team specialising in bespoke decorations. Each one is handmade by their partners, a small charity in Thailand and a family-run business in Northern India. They use traditional methods such as zardozi (‘gold embroidery’), which originated in Persia and reached India in the 12th century. They are a proud member of BAFTS (British Association of Fair Trade Suppliers) and support the 10 Principles of Fair Trade, as set out by the World Fair Trade Organisation.
