Description
100% cotton apron is based on a 1911 vintage design by Margaret Morris. Unused.
The design was intended to illustrate the song sheet of “The March of the Women,” a song dedicated to suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst. It became the music for the women’s suffrage movement throughout the United Kingdom and elsewhere. Activists sang it at rallies and in prison too: the composer, Ethel Smyth, reputably conducted the anthem with her toothbrush from a window of Holloway Prison.
Can be posted to the winning bidder at no extra cost.
