Sharing this beautifully recoloured image of the march.
Almost a century on, we're still having the same fight...

Lovely photo.
We're not only having the same fight but this time women are being actively threatened and stopped from meeting and marching

That's great to see in colour.

I'm reading a crime novel series where the sleuth is a suffragette organiser and activist. (Gillian Linscott, the Nell Bray series).

Linscott wears her research lightly but the novels are full of accurate period detail. For instance, the white dresses that the Pankhursts forced women to wear for marches cost twenty seven shillings and sixpence from Dickens and Jones, London, or thirty shillings including a white straw hat.

The parts of her novels based in womens' prison are jaw-droppingly awful.

Thanks for sharing. The photo is of Lilian Lenton: she received the French Red Cross during World War I. She went to prison numerous times. This is a surveillance photo when she was allowed to exercise for 5 minutes, outside.
