Vintage Feminist Suffragette Cushion

'Trust in God: She will provide.' So said Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928), one of the founders of the British Suffragette Movement which fought to win women the right to vote. Mrs Pankhurst’s famous quote appears on the back of the cushion. On the front is the cover of The Suffragette newspaper published in 1912 by the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). It shows Joan of Arc, the militant feminists’ ideal woman, carrying the WSPU flag. Joan’s tabard is stamped with the word Justice. There's a stylised decorative border either side. Edited by Emmeline’s oldest daughter, Christabel, the cover of the magazine was designed by Hilda Dallas. You can change the background colours to suit simply by using the customise button.
