Turner Contemporary

The banner was produced beside the sea in Margate, Kent. The four corners feature portraits by artist, Jessica Voorsanger, of inspirational women: Millicent Fawcett (11 June 1847 – 5 August 1929): British feminist, intellectual, political leader, activist and writer; Sojourner Truth (c. 1797 – November 26, 1883): African-American abolitionist and women's rights activist; Princess Sophia Duleep Singh (8 August 1876 – 22 August 1948 ): a prominent Suffragette and accredited physician in the United Kingdom; and Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the British Suffragette movement. These are stitched amongst individual panels created by each woman in the group, who proudly marched in Suffragette costumes, ringing glass bells, for PROCESSIONS.
