Votes for women! This apron is based on a 1911 vintage design by Margaret Morris, intended to illustrate the song sheet of "The March of the Women," a song dedicated to suffragette leaders. It became the music for the women& 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. In some ways, you could call it the feminist pop anthem of its time. What's yours? Sing it loud: perhaps like Ethel, accompanied by your toothbrush; or like most of us, in the shower; or like the most radical among us, on the streets. (Pots and pans are good makeshift drums, you know...) Let your first-wave sisters inspire you to demand women's political rights with this feminist apron. Please note that the 'Women's March is a British contemporary design, and reflects the fact that very few ethnic minorities lived in Britain at the time.
