Votes For Women! - talk by Lucy Adlington
Join us on Kirkgate, our recreated Victorian Street in York Castle Museum, for a very special evening on the theme of Suffragettes, with Lucy Adlington and Meridith Towne of History Wardrobe. From hobble skirts to flapper fashion, the history of the fight for the vote is made vivid through beautiful costumes and lively readings from the Edwardian age and the 1920s - a time of extraordinary political changes and remarkable personal histories. With stirring stories of daring stunts and ju-jitsu suffragettes, this talk will leave you wanting to march on Westminster!
