Join us for a night of suffrage celebration, entertainment and… jiu jitsu!
For our Archives at Night event taking place on Friday 18 May 2018, we are pulling stories from our collection that chart the course of the suffrage movement in the early 20th century: protest, militancy, and the outbreak of war on a global scale. Tickets are on sale from today.
