Photo of Car with Votes For Women at a suffragette rally 1911


While looking at some of my old newspapers and Magazines I came across this photo from a women's suffragette rally in 1911,

What I found most interesting apart from it's historical significance is the lack of women in the crowd, although you can see three women listening it is mostly men


I am going to try and post at least 3 or 4 photos or adds each week from my collection of research material
