Suffragette Memorial, Monument for women's voting rights in Victoria, London, Great Britain.
The Suffragette Memorial sits in Christchurch Gardens as a scroll-shaped sculpture made from fiberglass with a bronze-colored finish mounted on a conical base. Both sides display references to Holloway Prison and Women's Social and Political Union insignia.
This memorial was unveiled in 1970 to honor Caxton Hall as a gathering place for voting rights meetings. The inscriptions document a pivotal chapter in the struggle for electoral rights in Britain.
The inscriptions honor women who faced opposition and violence while fighting for voting rights. This memorial connects their struggle to the public space and invites visitors to acknowledge their sacrifices.
This memorial is located in central Christchurch Gardens and is freely accessible to visitors at any time. Take time to view both sides carefully to read all inscriptions and observe the details.
When this memorial opened in 1970, the House of Commons Speaker predicted that Britain would soon have a female Prime Minister. This prediction proved remarkably accurate just years later.
