The group identified with the character of Emily Wilding Davison, a member of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) and a militant fighter for her cause. Although much of her life has been interpreted through the manner of her death, the group felt that she contributed so much more for her cause, including going on hunger strike seven times and hiding herself within the Palace of Westminster. The butterflies on the banner were each individually created by individuals from the group, the butterfly a symbol of endurance, change, hope and life.
