First post in ages due to trolling. Hoping followers drop a #heart for support - if you're still out there! Likely going to the 'other' place soon. Meanwhile, huge thanks to #motherswhomake #Coventry @ComptonVerney @ilacolley & @WarwickHistory for a fab #art & #suffrage event!

Onto the #Suffragettes! Florence Mary Canning was born in 1863 at what is now the Richmond Club on Edgar Street. She went on to be a passionate campaigner for the vote. Read more: #HardWorkButGlorious but also @mappingsuffrage. #HistoryWritersDay24 mappingwomenssuffrage.org.uk…

She's the subject a chapter in my book, Hard Work - But Glorious but I didn't know how she'd first started learning about women's suffrage; I'm hoping as the transcribing goes on there might be more! I also wrote about Constance for @mappingsuffrage mappingwomenssuffrage.org.uk…

The vote is ‘a symbol of freedom, a symbol of citizenship, a symbol of liberty. It is a safeguard of all those liberties which it symbolises’. So wrote Mrs #Pankhurst. Do use your hard-won #vote at the #GeneralElections2024 tomorrow

And obviously there would have been no event without everyone that agreed to come and share their work with us all! To find out more about who they were and the sessions we held, you can have a look at the thread from the day here: #DisHist
We are all very excited to be at @MCRDeafCentre today for our Connecting Sharing event!
ALT Stone paving stones leading over to a red brick building. On a series of three windows purple banners with white text read: Manchester deaf centre. On the wall attached to this is another large purple banner with a bee depicted on it.

Here she is, I wrote a blog about Constance during Covid for @mappingsuffrage. As well as being a #suffragette, she did language research throughout her life, and that's part of the collection, too! mappingwomenssuffrage.org.uk…

Don't forget to #vote today! Local & mayoral elections are so important to seeding real national change as #votesforwomen #suffragecampaigners well knew. This poster by the Suffrage Atelier illustrates this perfectly so re-posting today! #LocalElections #pollingday #voting #vote
