In 1908 the Actresses’ Franchise League and Women Writers’ Suffrage League were founded to bring together theatre and entertainment professionals in support of the Votes for Women movement. Both organisations commissioned, produced and performed a huge variety of pro-suffrage theatre, dance, puppetry, music, and immersive experiences across the UK, seizing the opportunity to make new work that responded to the issues and ideas at the heart of the suffrage campaign.
