Vanishing for the Vote

This exhibition tells the story of one extraordinary night, Sunday 2 April 1911. Following demands from the Liberal government for every household to comply with its census requirements, suffragette organisations urged women, all still voteless, to boycott. Many did. Some wrote ‘Votes for Women’ boldly across their census forms. Others hid in darkened houses or, in the case of Emily Wilding Davison, in a cupboard within the Houses of Parliament.
