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…

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…

I was delighted to see Isabeau (& her Mum) at my #Kent book launch for Secret Missions of the Suffragettes.She’s grown a little bit since we last met in 2021! Aged 11, Isabeau wrote this blog about #suffragette Ethel Violet Baldock who lived in her house:mappingwomenssuffrage.org.uk……

Thank you so much @Activism23 @caitbeaumont @AnneFHLoganKent @annamuggeridge, Ruth Davidson and @racheljcollett for a brilliant conference. Such good research going on and much to think about.
Our @ahrcpress @Activism23 @LSBU @LSBU_LSS international research network's online conference (9-10 May), showcasing new research on activism across Ireland & Britain since 1918, is sold out! Looking forward to sharing stories & experiences of history of activism & protest.

1910 #OTD Votes for Women reported on a #WSPU #Suffragette meeting in Reading. Kenneth Scott #suffragist provided the flowers for the event. He came from an activist family - read more about him & his 1911 Census protest @mappingsuffrage mappingwomenssuffrage.org.uk…

I’ve long loved this New Year card 1912 -see Mary Lowndes Album #flickr flic.kr/p/C85SBL in Women’s Library @LSELibrary. In my book ‘Art and Suffrage’ I suggested it prob was work of Susan Beatrice Pearse. Eureka.I’ve just stumbled across the proof in The Vote, 11 Nov 1911

The 1911 Census was taken on the night of 2 April, with protests from women who were unhappy about the lack of #suffrage. Check out the @mappingsuffrage website, where I've blogged; for #Herefordshire stories, read #HardWorkButGlorious from @LedburyBooks. mappingwomenssuffrage.org.uk…

The work through @mappingsuffrage is an ongoing and interesting project, well worth exploring and a good example of digital mapping: mappingwomenssuffrage.org.uk…

Cataloguing photographs for someone who's not family but I'm researching her! I wrote this about Constance Radcliffe Cooke in 2021 when I couldn't get to HARC, but it's now all systems go with my investigations into her fascinating life. @mappingsuffrage mappingwomenssuffrage.org.uk…
