Suffragette Womens March 1912
In October 1912, six women left Edinburgh to walk 400 miles to London, gathering signatures en route in support of Womens Suffrage. The march was organised by Mrs. De Fonblanque (sister of Maud Arncliffe-Sennettt). The marchers wore a coat and skirt in russett brown with a matching hat, and earned for the marchers the name of the Brown Women. The route lay along the Great North Road and the women covered a distance of about 15 miles a day. They carried a banner designed by Louise R Jacobs for the Suffrage Atelier. The march ended in London on November 16th 1912. Photo shows a stop made, possibly in Doncaster. Date: 1912

EDITORS COMMENTS
In October 1912, six intrepid women embarked on a historic journey from Edinburgh to London to raise awareness and gather signatures in support of women's suffrage. Led by Mrs. De Fonblanque, the sister of suffragette leader Maud Arncliffe-Sennett, the women set out on a 400-mile march along the Great North Road. Dressed in russett brown coats and skirts with matching hats, they became known as the "Brown Women." Each day, the marchers covered approximately 15 miles, carrying a banner designed by Louise R Jacobs for the Suffrage Atelier. Their determination and courage gained them widespread attention and support as they made their way south. In this photograph, the women take a break, possibly in Doncaster, during their momentous journey. The march ended on November 16, 1912, in London, where they presented their petition to the Prime Minister, bringing renewed focus to the suffrage cause. This powerful image captures a pivotal moment in the fight for women's rights and the indomitable spirit of the suffragettes.
