Votes for Women DESCRIPTION:A collection of archival items and objects of the women’s suffrage movements \nFresh from the Women’s Library of the London School of Economics and Political Science\, we are proud to showcase banners\, sashes\, badges and documents that tell the story of the fight for equal voting rights. \nConcentrating on the fraught final years of the struggle between 1908 and 1914\, our exhibition explores the campaign methods of the three main groups for women’s suffrage\, the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU)\, the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) and the Women’s Freedom League (WFL). The display also features the diaries of imprisoned campaigners and contemporary leaflets detailing protest tactics\, including a plan to ‘rush’ the House of Commons. \nThe exhibition is part of a season of activities exploring the struggle for equal voting rights running throughout September\, October and early November URL:https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk/event/exhibition-at-last-votes-for-women/ LOCATION:Cambridgeshire CATEGORIES:Museum ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.museumofcambridge.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/At-Last-Votes-for-Women-web-banner-e1536828688804.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181102 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181104 DTSTAMP:20260506T052646 CREATED:20181025T062034Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181026T105239Z UID:3230-1541116800-1541289599@www.museumofcambridge.org.uk SUMMARY:Activity: Scene at the Museum DESCRIPTION:A new drama event for two nights in November only \nThe premiere of a suite of short plays\, inspired by items in our collection.\nJoin us for six theatrical vignettes\, written by local authors and fully staged in the environs of the Museum of Cambridge.
