People of kensington Come in your Thousands

Printed handbill announcing details of Woman's Sunday that took place on 21st June 1908. The handbill is addressed specifically to the 'people of Kensington' urging them to join the great Suffragette demonstration and rally in Hyde Park organised by the Women's Social and Political Union. The handbill is printed with information on how Kensington residents can become involved in the event, where they can join the procession and how they can contact the Kensington Procession Organiser, Bertha Sharp at 1 Pembroke Cottages which was the studio home of Clemence & Laurence Housman.

Woman's Sunday was the first 'monster meeting' to be organised by the Women's Social and Political Union. Trains were specially chartered to bring in thousands of suffragettes from all over Britain to march in seven processions to Hyde Park where 20 temporary platforms were erected in a circle for 80 speakers to address the crowds.
