#OnThisDay, 10 Mar 1914, suffragette Mary Richardson attacks, with a meat cleaver, Velázquez's painting of Venus in the National Gallery in London in protest at the treatment of Emmeline Pankhurst.

Suffragette attacks on art were common enough for Punch to do a cartoon of it.

#OnThisDay, 9 Mar 1906, British suffragettes Flora Drummond and Annie Kenney repeatedly knock on the door of Number 10 Downing Street during a protest.

They were basically playing 'knock down ginger' on the Prime Minister. And were arrested for it.

Short thread!

#OnThisDay, 3 Mar 1913, thousands of women marched through Washington DC in the Suffrage Parade. They are led by Inez Milholland, a lawyer on a white horse, with delegations from each state following.

The day before Ida B Wells and other Black suffragists were told they would be segregated, and had to march at the back. Wells said that she would march with Illinois or not at all.

#OnThisDay, 7 Feb 1971, women in Switzerland win the right to vote in federal elections after a national referendum. One canton continued to deny women the vote until a court case in 1990.

Snail pic is from a suffrage protest in 1928 which was complaining about the slow progress towards #VotesForWomen.
