Mass Demonstration!

Flyer announcing a Mass Demonstration! in support of 'Votes for Women' to be held at Hyde Park on 17 July, 1910. The flyer, issued by the Men's Political Union for Women's Enfranchisement refers to one of several suffrage demonstrations held throughout the summer of 1910 in support of the Conciliation Bill being debated in Parliament. On 12th July, five days before the demonstration, the Bill had passed its second reading with a majority in favour of 110 but was then referred to a committee of the whole House meaning it was unlikely to be given time for further discussion during the course of that parliamentary session.

The militant Men's Political Union for Women's Enfranchisement was founded in 1910 by Victor Duval as a male counterpart to the Women's Social and Political Union. This leaflet, printed in purple and green reflects the close links between the two organisations that shared the same colour scheme.
