EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Suffragette W.S.P.U Group Marshall Sash dates back to circa 1908 and is a testament to the powerful and determined spirit of the women's suffrage movement in the United Kingdom. Made from luxurious green moire or watered silk fabric, this sash is adorned with the words "Group Marshal" in elegant silver letters, adding an air of authority and leadership to the wearer. The sash also features a beautiful metallic silver tassel at one end, which adds a touch of sophistication and flair. Measuring 61cm long (1 side) and 10cm wide, this sash was produced for the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), a militant organization that fought for women's right to vote. The tapered end of the sash is fastened with a hook, making it easy to wear and adjust. The WSPU was known for its bold and disruptive tactics, including window-breaking, arson, and hunger strikes. The group's members, or "suffragettes," wore distinctive colors and symbols to identify themselves and to show their commitment to the cause. The green color of this sash was a symbol of hope and new growth, reflecting the optimism and determination of the suffragettes as they worked towards achieving the vote for women. This historic sash is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and struggles of the suffragettes, and the important role they played in the fight for women's rights. It is a valuable piece of social and political history, and a beautiful example of the craftsmanship and design of the early 20th century.
