details:
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.
