The Suffragettes 50p commemorates the centenary of the establishment of the Women's Social and Political Union. With Emmeline and Christabelle Pankhurst at its forefront, the Suffrugette movement finally saw the partial votes for women in 1918, with the franchise being extended to all women over 21 in 1928.
