Description
Mary Higginson holding the "Votes for Women" banner
Mary was one of the retired suffragettes who attended the unveiling of the commemorative plaque dedicated to Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney in Manchester Free Trade Hall in May 1960 and the first militant act on 13 October 1905. She is pictured here holding the same ‘Votes for Women’ banner Annie unfurled on that momentous day. We do not know much about Mary’s life, but in the Kenney Papers, she appears on this photograph and in the Suffragette Roll of Honour of Prisoners, 1905-1914.
