Collage representing Lucy Burns, suffragette from the early 1900s. Includes image of her in jail, standing next to a suffragette banner, and a group of women below advocating for women's right to vote. Includes overlay of sewing pattern instructions, and a old fashioned hot air balloon.
"It is unthinkable that a national government which represents women should ignore the issue of the right of all women to political freedom." Lucy Burns, 1913
Lucy Burns was an activist and suffragette who protested extensively in both the United States and in England for women's right to vote. She was jailed on many occasions for protesting women's right to vote, including hunger strikes that involved her jailers force feeding her to prevent her from protesting in that way. Lucy Burns once advertised an upcoming national women's convention by riding as a passenger a small bi-plane, and tossing leaflets out of the plane in 80 mph winds, scattering the leaflets all over downtown Seattle!
