The story of #PinfoldManor is not obscure. It is told at two Wikipedia articles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinfold_Manor & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walton-on-the-Hill. The manor was for sale In 2010, when the #DailyTelegraph carried an article on its history: https://archive.is/lj3yY.
Carr was ennobled in November 2023. If she did no homework before chosing her name, then she is an idiot. If she did check, she couldn't have missed the #suffragette bomb story.
So I am calling Lady Carr a #liar. Blatant, #PantsOnFire LIAR.
RESIGN!

114 years ago today, #suffragette Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington smashed some windows at #DublinCastle, while campaigning for votes for women.
8 years ago today, President #MichaelDHiggins unveiled this plaque to the window-smashing. https://president.ie/en/diary/details/president-unveils-a-plaque-acknowledging-irish-suffragettes
I am proud to be a citizen of a country that commemorates window-smashing. ❤️

One of my favourite photos, partly because the council have now iron-fenced this grave off and, IMHO, turned it into a Victorian look-don't-touch memorial, kept apart from the people. It had so much more of a "she was one of us" feel to it before.
<AI Confession> Cloned out 2 headstones which obscured the lower part of the view. Original in comments.</>

Happy birthday to British #engineer, #mathematician, #physicist & #inventor Hertha Ayrton (1854-1923). I’ve shown her in my #linocut with a diagram of the dividers from her 1st of 26 (!) patents, one of her diagrams about the origin & growth of ripple marks & one of her diagrams of an electric arc lamp (a subject on which she literally wrote the textbook).
Born Phoebe Sarah Marks, she was the 3rd 🧵https://minouette.etsy.com/listing/966154261

A plaque for a museum vandal? Yes.
After decades of campaigning for the right to vote, in 1903 a Birmingham-led group of women switched to civil disobedience, window-smashing, bombing, and arson. One woman, Bertha Ryland, slashed art (below) in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
The right to vote is called suffrage, and the press called women activists suffragettes, intending to belittle them. Instead, the movement adopted this name. Protesters learned self-defense so they could escape police holds. Many were arrested, assaulted, and convicted. Several died. In prison they held hunger strikes, but were violently force-fed; it caused permanent organ damage in Ryland's case.
By 1918 some UK women got the vote. The slashed artwork was repaired. Over time, opinions changed and Ryland got a medal and, in 2018, a memorial plaque—inside the museum.

TW: Si vous ne détestez pas les fachos et le patriarcat, il est possible que les slogans en fond sonore de cette vidéo vous heurtent.
La tenue complète est une reconstitution inexacte que j'ai faite des années 1900 à 1910, excepté le chapeau sur lequel j'ai digressé.
La bande son est faite d'extraits enregistrés ça et là lors de manifs anticapitalistes-décolonialistes à Lausanne.
N'oubliez pas : avant, les féministes posaient des bombes 💣💥

[8 MARS]
Aujourd'hui, journée internationale des droits des femmes, j'avais envie de rendre hommage aux féministes d'hier qui nous permis d'être qui nous sommes aujourd'hui à travers deux images: celle des suffragettes et celle des manifestantes de mai 68.
Merci à vous ❤️#8mars #journeeinternationaledesdroitsdesfemmes #suffragette #mai68 #féminisme #timesup #8thofmarch #feminism #feministe #droitsdesfemmes #internationalwomensday #womensrights #feminist #may68 #mybodymychoice

It's #InternationalWomensDay ! We have a thematic #bookstack prepared for you. See the replies for details on each book.
Why the crocus? Not to say women should be gifted flowers today (no!) but because the crocus's colours purple, white and green 🇬🇧 / yellow 🇺🇸 reflect the #Suffragette flag

The #Suffragette movement was #DEI .
If you care about the #Diversity , #Equity , and #Inclusion of #Women in private or public, the right for women to have their own bank accounts, work, vote, and generally decide what they do with their own lives, you're pro DEI.
If you care about #WomensRights , in any way, shape, or form, you're pro DEI.
The Suffragette movement was once treated as common criminals simply for demanding equal rights for women.
