Mrs Pankhurst’s Purple Feather–A Book Review

10,000 Birds

The purple feather of the title is an ostrich plume (now housed in the Museum of London), a symbol of Emmeline’s crusade and personal style (if you saw the 2015 film Suffragette , Meryl Streep, playing Pankhurst, is wearing a hat full purple feathers). and the Importation of Plumage (Prohibition) Act of 1921 in Great Britain).
