Suffragette ROsettes

Did you know that there is a Carnegie Connection to the Women’s Suffrage movement?

Well there is - specifically through Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the suffragette movement on this side of the Atlantic.

On October 25th 1909 there was a mass meeting in honour of Mrs Pankhurst held at New York’s now famed Carnegie Hall. The meeting was given by the Equality League of Self-Supporting Women. Mrs Pankhurst spoke at the event herself alongside other radical women.

Andrew Carnegie described New York’s Carnegie Hall in the following way:

“It is built to stand for ages, and during these ages it is probable that this hall will intertwine itself with the history of our country. All good causes may find here a platform.” —Andrew Carnegie
