Description
Votes for Women: The Suffragette nails her colours to the mast
[Here the suffragette is depicted as a masculine woman wearing manly clothing including a pork pie hat, this being at the time a direct reference to lesbianism. Those opposing female suffrage regarded suffragettes not only as a political threat but also as a sexual threat.]
