#suffragettes100

In celebration of 100 years since Emmeline Pankhurst and the suffragettes fought for women’s rights in the workplace, in politics and in society in general I thought I’d post this picture of what appears to be an Edwardian female undertaker! It is thanks to the suffragettes that the funeral industry can boast some excellent female funeral directors up and down the UK and across the world. Women make such an invaluable contribution to the funeral industry due to their natural empathy and kindness towards others in distress. #funeral #funeralservice #femalefuneraldirector #funeraldirector #femaleundertaker #suffragettes #emmelinepankhurst #victorian #edwardian #undertaker #confessionsofanundertaker #womeslib #womensrights #workersrights #death #deathcare #deathpositive #deathpositivity #suffragettes100 (at Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire)

Marking 100 years since women gained the vote in the U.K.! Link to my book #RebelVoices in my bio if you want to celebrate by buying it!!! Written by Louise Kay Stewart. Here is the Russia illustration - they celebrated 100 years last year! 'The women refused to leave, even after dark, when they were soaked by heavy rains and knee-deep in puddles. There were simply too many of them to ignore, and at last the government gave in. A triumphant roar went up through the crowd – victory was theirs! Russian women had won the vote.' Well done girls! #votes100 #sufragette #suffragettes100 #timesup #stylistsuffragette #votesforwomen #russianfeminist #russia
