London on Wheels: a Suffrage Story
Join Rachel Kolsky, author of 'Women's London', aboard a vintage Routemaster for a tour around the capital, following in the footsteps of some of the major players in the suffrage movement. Travelling through the City and Westminster you’ll discover the difference between suffragists and Suffragettes, see the sites of key campaigns and rallies, and hear the stories behind such names as the Pankhursts, Millicent Fawcett, the Pethick-Lawrences and Emily Wilding Davison.
The tour ends at the Museum of London Docklands having travelled through Whitechapel and Bow, where the legacy of philanthropists and social workers survives to this day.
Copies of Rachel's book, 'Women's London' will be available for sale in the museum shop at the end of the tour for the reduced rate of £11.99 (RRP £14.99)
