First post in ages due to trolling. Hoping followers drop a #heart for support - if you're still out there! Likely going to the 'other' place soon. Meanwhile, huge thanks to #motherswhomake #Coventry @ComptonVerney @ilacolley & @WarwickHistory for a fab #art & #suffrage event!

What a fab day I had @WarwickHistory @uniofwarwick helping local Coventry children with their learning about #lego #suffragette & #Coventry #Votesforwomen campaigners - printing bags, doing drama & a VR suffrage #museum. Thanks to brill colleagues for helping make this happen!

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 https://t.co/viG3DnZJm7

[Clare Wichbold @CWichbold]

Time for lunch with Constance Radcliffe Cooke (1877-1963), #WSPU #Suffragette, social reform campaigner, @WomensInstitute member & creator of the cooking box. Read more @mappingsuffrage & in #HardWorkButGlorious from @LedburyBooks https://t.co/laXM56Ub6u #HistoryWritersDay24

[Clare Wichbold @CWichbold]

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 https://t.co/laXM56Ub6u

[Mapping Women's Suffrage @mappingsuffrage]

The vote is ‘a symbol of freedom, a symbol of citizenship, a symbol of liberty. It is a safeguard of all those liberties which it symbolises’. So wrote Mrs #Pankhurst. Do use your hard-won #vote at the #GeneralElections2024 tomorrow

@MCRDeafCentre 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

[Clare Wichbold @CWichbold]

Looking forward to sharing #Suffrage stories on Friday evening at @StPaulsTupsley Community Centre #Hereford. Also a chance for people to visit #WSPU #Suffragette Florence Canning's grave. #HardWorkButGlorious

[Clare Wichbold @CWichbold]

@WomensHistNet 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! https://t.co/laXM56UIW2

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:https://t.co/ksmajJP2yT…

[Mapping Women's Suffrage @mappingsuffrage]

So looking forward to this! There's a brilliant blog by @CWichbold on our website about childhood #polio #votesforwomen #census hero Kenneth Scott. Fascinating read! https://t.co/66WTCrTank

[UK Disability History and Heritage Hub @UKDisHistHub]

It is now 3 weeks until our event! Please do consider joining us in-person or virtually for what should be a very interesting day! #DisHist

[Mapping Women's Suffrage @mappingsuffrage]

[Dr Gillian Murphy @_gillianmurphy]

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.

[Mapping Women's Suffrage @mappingsuffrage]

Don't forget to #vote today! Local & mayoral elections are so important to seeding real national change as #votesforwomen #suffragecampaigners well knew. This poster by the Suffrage Atelier illustrates this perfectly so re-posting today! #LocalElections #pollingday #voting #vote
