Shield shaped banner produced by the Peckham branch of the Women's Freedom League, c.1908. The banner is formed from three vertical panels of gold, green and white fabric - this being the colour scheme of the WFL. Sewn onto the banner are individual black letters forming the message 'Demands Votes for Women This Session Peckham Branch WFL'. Under the applied letter 'D' can be seen the remnants of a handwritten 'W' suggesting the women were originally planning to apply the message 'we demand' but realised they did not have the space to do so and change the message to 'Demands.' The V shaped lower edge of the banner has been trimmed with fabric baubles on tabs sewn to the edge at regular intervals. A cane stick is sewn into the straight top edge for carrying purposes.
