Suffragette volunteers manning the Enquiry Desk at the International Suffrage Fair, November 1912. This image was one in a series taken by Christina Broom depicting participants and organisers of the Fair. The Fair, organised by the Women's Freedom League was intended to raise vital funds for the campaign and inform visitors about the progress of female suffrage throughout the world. Suffragettes dressed in national costume manned stalls selling goods representing different nations. The stalls were arranged according to whether they gave women the vote, each was decorated with their national flag whilst a figure of Liberty adorned those that had already granted the franchise to women. The Suffragette on the right of this image wears a sash in the gold, green and white colours of the WFL marked 'Entertainment Steward.' To the left can be seen the stall representing England and to the right the stall representing Wales.
