'Wear the colours as a duty and a privilege. Never be seen without your badge' (Women's Social & Political Union, 1908-12). This PhD will investigate the material history of the suffrage movement and bring a new dimension to research on women's political history by addressing: 1) How objects helped to support suffrage campaigns and construct collective identities; 2)The types of material culture appropriated by suffrage campaigners, and how this reflected their social status/roles.Context - Women's enfranchisement is widely researched and much has been said on the suffrage movement of the late 19th/early 20th century: particularly the political activities of the Pankhursts and their supporters. However, little has been done to explore the extensive material culture of suffrage. This PhD will respond to this need by examining 1) the importance of suffrage objects as expressions of radicalism in memoirs, personal testimonies, police reports, newspapers and other ephemera; 2) how campaigners used consumer culture to promote The Cause; 3) how campaigners created identities and marketed their political agenda in accessible forms such as personal adornment and the domestic sphere. While the use of fashion in women's suffrage is well studied (Crawford, 2013; Hels 2009) this PhD will make an original contribution through an integrated textual and object-based examination of the wider range of material culture used by 'Votes For Women' and other campaigns (e.g. crockery, jewellery, postcards, placards, buttons, banners, and even suffragette board games). The careful construction of identities, and radical dissemination of merchandise were innovative, drawing on contemporary consumerism to create a recognisable brand that brought cohesion to the movement and spread awareness of the campaign message. Research into the radical use of objects will highlight how material culture enabled the disenfranchised to become politically involved, with particular reference to gender and class. Methods - The primary data for this study will be collected from the main UK suffrage collections: Museum of London (974 objects), Manchester People's History Museum (30 objects), Parliament Archives (20 objects; 86 police reports; 20 petitions; 400+ related correspondence), LSE Women's Library (146 suffrage collections of individuals), Glasgow Women's Library (20+ objects), Leeds Museums & Galleries (200+ objects). I have permission from these archives to access the materials required for this study. Using these sources, one of the key outcomes of this PhD will be the first integrated catalogue of suffrage collections across the UK, this will form the basis for my subsequent analysis:1.Examine how/where key artefacts were made and how/where they were deployed by activists. Objects will be categorised into groups and subgroups e.g; Ephemera: pamphlets, postcards; Signage: placards, banners,' etc2.Look for representations of objects in text, audio recordings and photographs and integrate them with study of the objects themselves. E.g. Leeds Museum has artefacts belonging to suffragette Leonora Cohen, while LSE women's library have 8+ hrs audio of her discussing her involvement in the campaigns. So far these sources have been utilised for biographical study only, bringing them together here will give new insights on the material culture involved3.Key artefacts will be selected from the collections to form the subject of artefact biographies which will incorporate more detail on production, use and ownership, as well as curation to demonstrate their enduring significanceImpact - From an archaeological perspective, this PhD will contribute original information on how radical use of material culture helped women to achieve voting rights. Dissemination of this research will enrich museum narratives, increase the significance of suffrage artefacts before the full centenary in 1928, and offer opportunities for renewed intere

'将颜色作为责任和特权穿上。没有您的徽章永远不会被看见”（妇女社会与政治联盟，1908-12）。该博士将调查选举权运动的物质历史，并通过解决：1）对象如何帮助支持选举权运动并建立集体身份来研究妇女的政治历史； 2）选举人运动者所采用的物质文化的类型，以及这如何反映其社会地位/角色。Context-妇女的民族民法性经过广泛研究，并且在19世纪末/20世纪初的选举权运动中得到了很多研究：尤其是Pankhursts及其支持者的政治活动。但是，几乎没有做到探索选举权的广泛物质文化。该博士将通过检查1）选举对象作为回忆录，个人证词，警察报告，报纸和其他埃弗米拉的重要性来应对这一需求； 2）运动者如何利用消费者文化来促进这一事业； 3）竞选者如何创建身份并以诸如个人装饰和国内领域之类的可访问形式推销其政治议程。虽然对妇女选举权中时尚的使用进行了充分的研究（Crawford，2013; Hels 2009），该博士将通过对“女性投票”和其他运动所使用的广泛材料文化的整体和对象研究（例如Crockery，Crockery，Crockery，Jewelery，Jewelery，Jewelery，Parks，Pass Cards，Pass，Palls，Palls，Bandons，Banners，Banners，Compersspragets compersrage）来做出的原始贡献。仔细的身份建设以及商品的根本传播是创新的，它借鉴了当代消费主义，创造了一个可识别的品牌，使运动具有凝聚力并传播了对竞选信息的认识。对物体的根本使用的研究将突出物质文化如何使被剥夺权利的人在政治上参与，特别是指性别和阶级。 Methods - The primary data for this study will be collected from the main UK suffrage collections: Museum of London (974 objects), Manchester People's History Museum (30 objects), Parliament Archives (20 ob​​jects; 86 police reports; 20 petitions; 400+ related correspondence), LSE Women's Library (146 suffrage collections of individuals), Glasgow Women's Library (20+ objects), Leeds Museums &画廊（200多个对象）。我已获得这些档案的许可来访问这项研究所需的材料。使用这些来源，该博士学位的主要结果之一将是英国各地的选举权集合的第一个集成目录，这将构成我随后的分析的基础：1。验证如何/何处制作关键的人工制品，以及激进主义者如何/何处。对象将分为组和子组，例如； ephemera：小册子，明信片；标牌：标语牌，横幅，'等。例如。利兹博物馆拥有属于列奥诺拉·科恩（Leonora Cohen）的手工艺品，而LSE妇女图书馆则有8个以上的音频，讨论了她参与竞选活动的参与。到目前为止，这些来源仅用于传记研究，将它们放在这里将提供有关所涉及物质文化的新见解3.钥匙手工艺品将从藏品中选出，以形成人工制品传记的主题，从而将更多的详细信息纳入生产，使用和所有权的详细信息，从而使他们的持久含义构成材料的概述，以实现其构成的原始信息，以实现范围的范围，以实现原始的范围，以实现原始的信息，以实现原始的信息，以实现原始的信息，以构成原始的信息。权利。这项研究的传播将丰富博物馆的叙述，提高1928年全百年前的选举权人工制品的重要性，并为更新的Intere提供机会
