Suffragettes in Bath

4 October @ 11:00 am 12:00 pm

Suffragettes banners Votes for Women

In 1913, there were seven different pro-suffrage societies in Bath. In the previous five years, Emily Blathwayt had provided a refuge for more than 60 suffragettes, many on release from prison and hunger strike, at her home in Batheaston. In 1911, the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, David Lloyd George addressed a packed ‘men only’ meeting in the recently-opened Pavilion to discuss votes for women.

Join Mayor’s guides, Joy Roberts and Carol Boardman at Bath and County Club for a talk on this topic.
