Anti-suffrage poem
100 years ago today some women were given the right to vote. Let's remind ourselves what they were up against back then! Isabelle, a young student on placement in Archives+ last week, recorded this video clip of an anti-suffrage poem found in our suffrage archive collection.
Some wonderful collaboration went into this short vintage lego movie! Well done Jack, Rodrigo & Joshua!
