Event Short Description
Event Information
Running until mid-February, the exhibition sheds light on Madge’s fearless activism as a member of the Women’s Freedom League and highlights the militant suffrage movement’s activities in Chichester during the early 20th century.
The exhibition, curated by Francesca Tambling founder of Chichester Women’s History Group, tells Madge’s story through newly uncovered newspaper reports, magazine accounts, and her own writings. It reveals her as a brave, principled woman who stood firm in the face of opposition and provides a fresh perspective on Chichester’s past, challenging its traditional image.
