The Women's Exhibition

Stall at The Women's Exhibition, Prince's Skating Rink, May 1909. The Women's Exhibition was organised by the Women's Social and Political Union as both a fund and profile raising event. Over fifty stalls, decorated in purple, white and green displayed a variety of items for sale that had been donated or made by Suffragettes. To capitalise on the fund raising potential of the event every stall was expected to display goods at least to the value of £100. This stall was possibly in the category of bric-a-brac. One of the volunteers is holding a doll for sale and a drawstring purse is displayed on a stand.
