  1. 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.</>

  2. 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).⁠

  10. 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.

  12. 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 💣💥

  13. [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 ❤️

    The photo of Christabel Pankhurst from 1909 is amazing! For a picture so old it somehow looks amazingly modern.

  22. We Are the Descendants - Commoners Choir

    we’ve doubled our average life expectancy because we’ve improved sanitation, healthcare, diet, working conditions and living conditions. These improvements weren’t handed down by grateful factory bosses and land owners, by generous Prime Ministers and judges. They came about through education, protests, strikes, riots and demonstrations.

    … and we are coming for you.

  23. Remember the famous case where a suffragette in Dublin "threw a hatchet at the prime minister and wounded John Redmond"? Well, you know those little yokes used for breaking toffee? That was what she threw! #Suffragette #MaryLeigh #Hatchet #ToffeeHatchet

  26. In the UK, February is #LGBT+ #HistoryMonth.

    One of the gay women in my upcoming book about #Somerset was a #suffragette. I didn't realise that quite a few suffragettes were non-hetero and feel this should be acknowledged more.
