Great Meeting in Hyde Park. Women's Social and Political Union
Printed handbill announcing a Votes For Women 'Great Meeting' to be held in Hyde Park' on Sunday 26 August 1906. This was one of a series of Hyde Park meetings organised by the Women's Social and Political Union during the summer of 1906. With the relocation of the WSPU leaders to London and the opening of a new London headquarters in 1906 the Women's Social and Political Union increased their campaigning activity in the capital. Regular, open air meetings in London's famous landmarks such as Hyde Park were crucial not only for promoting the Votes for Women message but also for putting pressure on the government to confront the issue and drive it up the political agenda.
