The Artists’ Suffrage League

The Artists’ Suffrage League was founded in 1907 as a society of professional women devoted to the cause of women’s enfranchisement. Led by chairman Mary Lowndes, the group of mostly middle-aged established artists donated their time and skills to produce posters, banners, postcards, Christmas cards, and leaflets for use in Britain and the United States. Two years later a parallel group, The Suffrage Atelier, was formed to “train in the arts and crafts of effective picture propaganda for suffrage.” Members received instruction in drawing, illustration, and banner-making and learned practical skills such as engraving and hand printing so that the group could quickly and cheaply produce high-quality propaganda. The Atelier was run by women “who make their own designs, cut blocks, and do the printing,” dressed in “a bright blue workmanlike coat, a black skirt, and big black bow.”
