Vintage Womens Suffragette Kitchen Towel

This beautiful vintage kitchen towel features the front cover of The Suffragette newspaper published in 1912 by the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). It shows a drawing of Joan of Arc, the militant feminists’ ideal woman, carrying the WSPU flag. Joan’s tabard is stamped with the word Justice. The penny magazine was edited by Christabe Pankhurst, the oldest daughter of Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928), one of the founders of the British Suffragette Movement which fought to win women the right to vote. The cover of the magazine was designed by Hilda Dallas. You can change the colour of the white border to suit simply by using the customise button.
