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 of 8 children

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 Norwegian National Women's Council (our #ICW) in Håkonshallen in #Bergen in 1932.
#Håkonshallen is a very old building and had not yet had its roof blown off in the explosion of munitions ship "Vorboode".
Anyway, the women in it at this time were an important force in achieving women's voting rights in the period from 1901 to 1913. Since 1640, women had been considered minors at all time, under guardianship of their father until marriage when the husband took over. Several #suffragette organisations in Norway fought for their rights, many of which were founded Gina Krog, like the Norwegian National Women's Council.

A suffragette smashed these windows in 1912. Presumably that why they've now got bars protecting them.

So, thinking about the Wizard of Oz from the perspective of the good witches being suffragettes is definitely something new to me.

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.

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

This has to be one of of the most iconic photographs of the 20th century from March 1907. Sixteen years old suffragette Dora Thewlis.
A poor mill worker from Honley in Huddersfield she was a member of the Women's Social and Political Union At a demonstration in London she was arrested and served a week in prison.
Vanished without a trace but actually emigrated to Australia... and her ten grandchildren are very proud
