Crowds in Hyde Park on Women's Sunday, 21st June 1908. Annie Kenney, in the centre of the photograph, is about to take up her place chairing Platform 3, one of whose speakers included Dorothy Pethick, the sister of Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence. 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.
