Great slogan

I've lived around D.C. for 4 years and still haven't seen a protest banner quite that catchy.

[The lines are from Henry Alford's lyrics to the hymn "Forward! Be Our Watchword." - Dave]

Suffragette City

I never realized Olive Oyl was a suffragette.

May the force be with me

I love her Princess Leia buns.

Forward into battle

I see she is armed with her hat pin--ready to go.

How sad...

This is the same banner that Inez carried in a Suffragette march in 1911.
