Wearing the Colours: Suffragette jewellery in Britain
ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL DAY

Elizabeth Goring: Principal Curator, National Museums, Scotland.

“‘Suffragette Jewellery in Britain' offered costume society members the opportunity to reflect upon the interdisciplinary nature of the study of costume. The focus upon aspects of social history was very much in evidence at both an individual and societal level. Questions from the floor also revealed that we were a privileged group as much of the information that was being delivered is as yet unavailable in printed for” - Linda Ducklin
