There’s something about putting an idea on paper and sticking it somewhere people can’t avoid seeing it. Women have been doing it for generations, and we want to keep making work in that tradition.

Marion Wallace Dunlop was one of many suffrage activists who were artists, illustrators, writers, musicians, actors — who all used their craft to demand their rights.  Our Creative Catalyst tier on P&S Patreon, allows us to work towards the same.

Her text quotes the 1689 Bill of Rights, and was stamped onto the House of Commons using a stencilling device she made herself – yes we said SHE MADE A RUBBER-STAMPING DEVICE, and then used it to GRAFITTI THE HOUSE OF COMMONS!  She was innovative, brilliant – and created with purpose.

According to The Times, Marion printed a notice that read: ‘Women's Deputation. June 29. Bill of Rights. It is the right of the subjects to petition the King, and all commitments and prosecutions for such petitionings are illegal.’

No one knew it better than Marion Wallace Dunlop, who in 1909 was charged ‘with wilfully damaging the stonework of St. Stephen's Hall, House of Commons, by stamping it with an indelible rubber stamp, doing damage to the value of 10s.’

Teachers created a timeline of Scottish suffrage from archival newspaper cuttings and archive images — then told us what they actually need in their classrooms. We're reading every response as we develop new lessons and modules to our Education Pack.

At Protests & Suffragettes, we believe history has the power to help us understand the challenges women face today. By recovering Scotland's hidden herstories, we can see that many of the issues women are campaigning against now have deep historical roots.
