EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful suffragette badge from 1911 represents the collective resistance of women's rights advocates against the British Census. Members of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), Women's Freedom League, and Women's Tax Resistance League united in their refusal to fill in their census returns, asserting their belief that women's suffrage was a prerequisite for their participation in civic life. The badge, emblazoned with the slogan "No Vote, no Census," is a testament to their unwavering commitment to securing the right to vote for women. The design of the badge reflects the colors of the Women's Tax Resistance League - brown and black - symbolizing the economic and political power of women's collective action. The year 1911 is inscribed on the badge, marking a pivotal moment in the suffrage movement when women's activism took a bold and defiant turn. The suffragettes' boycott of the census was a significant act of civil disobedience, challenging the authority of the British government and drawing attention to the cause of women's suffrage. This badge is a reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragettes and their allies, who fought tirelessly for women's right to vote and to be recognized as equal citizens in society.
