Description
The tricolor ribbon is a signature fashion statement of the suffragette movement, seen on sashes, ribbons, and other accessories. In 1908 Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence, the co-editor of the WSPU's newspaper, Votes for Women, designed the suffragettes' colour scheme of purple for loyalty and dignity, white for purity, and green for hope.
