Women's Sunday, Hyde Park, Sunday 21 June 1908. Banners from all over the country were taken to this 'monster' rally. Prominent in this photograph are banners from WSPU branches in Newport, Cardiff and Leicester. This was the first major, country-wide demonstration for women?s suffrage. Trains brought women from all over the country to join in. Speeches were made by the Pankhursts and other suffragettes. Between 200,000 and 300,000 people gathered in Hyde Park, making it one of the largest single demonstrations ever up to that time.
