Description
Small, shield-shaped lapel pin in the WSPU colours – green, white, and purple. In her memoir, Memories of a Militant (1924), Annie Kenney writes that the Suffragette colours were devised by Mrs Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence (1867-1954). Purple stands for loyalty, white for purity, and green for hope.
