Thing - Suffrag...

Suffragettes brooch and badge

Creator: NationalMuseumsScotland on 8 Apr 2011, 1 p.m.

In 1900, Scottish women didn't have full voting rights. They could vote in local council elections, but not for Members of Parliament.

Women who wanted full voting rights were known as Suffragists or Suffragettes. The word suffrage comes from the Latin word for 'vote'.

From the collections at Blair Castle, Perthshire.
