Celebrating Emmeline Pankhurst...

...on the washing line rather than the picket line...

From the blurb to the collection "First in the Fight":

Emmeline Pankhurst stands proudly in St Peter's Square, but she stands for so many more...

From the women who marched to St Peter's Fields flying the flag for reform to the first entrepreneurs, the women of Greater Manchester have long stood shoulder to shoulder in the fight for equality and social change. For the centenary of some women being able to vote in 2018, the journey began for a statue to be erected, symbolising the incredible lives and achievements of Manchester's radical women.

British suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst was the winner of a public vote, and her statue was unveiled in St Peter’s Square, Manchester on Friday, 14th December 2018 – exactly one hundred years to the day from some women voting for the first time in a British General Election - the first female statue in Manchester since 1901.
