Votes for women air balloon, 1909
Votes for women more in the air than ever: the suffragettes dirgible for the opening of Parliament. Armed with a megaphone and handbills, Muriel Matters and her air balloon intended to travel above the route of the royal procession for the opening of Parliament. However, the Illustrated London News reported that it was necessary to keep the balloon so high over Westminster that it was almost invisible. Date: 1909
