EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Women's Freedom League sash from circa 1908. The sash, made from heavy grosgrain ribbon in the colors of the Women's Freedom League - green, white, and gold - measures an impressive 106cm x 5cm. The sash could also function as a belt, with the addition of a buckle. The sash is adorned with the bold, black-printed letters "Women's Freedom League," proudly declaring its affiliation with the suffragette movement. The Women's Freedom League was a militant organization that fought for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1907, the League was known for its radical tactics, including arson, window-breaking, and hunger strikes. The League's members wore their distinctive green, white, and gold sashes as a symbol of their commitment to the cause. The sash in this photograph is a testament to the passion and determination of the suffragettes who fought for women's rights and the achievement of suffrage. The sash's intricate design and vibrant colors reflect the energy and spirit of the suffragette movement, which played a pivotal role in the history of women's rights and gender equality. This historical artifact is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and struggles of the suffragettes, who paved the way for future generations to enjoy the fundamental right to vote.
