Lot Details
the tin badge designed by Sylvia Pankhurst for the suffragette campaign and made by Pellett Ltd. c.1909/1910, incorporating the purple (faded), white and green colour scheme of the women's social and political union, the design depicts a woman breaking free: stepping through a gate with iron bars and heavy chains, carrying a 'votes for women' streamer. By 1909 the Women's Social and Political Union was commissioning a wide range of badges, brooches, pendants, pins and hatpins. These raised funds for the campaign and helped to promote the votes for women cause.
