15985NATIONAL UNION OF WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE SOCIETIES. PROGRAMME. National Union Women's Suffrage Societies. Men's League. Women's Suffrage Portsmouth n.d. but 1908. <br/><br/>Broadside 335mm x 208mm printed on recto onfy; alittle foxed and with creases where folded but still a remarkable survival. Programme for an evening meeting that began with a musical recital followed by the singing of suffrage songs the words are printed - one of them is by Margaret O'Shea sister of the secretary of the Portsmouth NUWSS societyand then a speech by Lady<br/>Balfour followed by more singing before a rousing closing speech by Alice Abadam Interestingly the 'Vote of Thanks' is seconded by Alderman Sanders LCC who in 1908 was Labour parliamentary candidate for Portsmouth and whose wife Beatrice was financial secretary to the WSPU. We believe this programme may date from 1908 - because there is a mention at its foot of an Exhibition of Banners Fuller's tea Rooms Palmerston Road - and such exhibitions were common after the June 1908 Hyde Park rally. unknown books
