Suffragist portraits

(a) Sculpture. The Dutch Parliament passed a law forbidding women to be employed at night work about 1908. Whereupon, the women employed in a textile factory where they had worked at night exchanged work with day working men who carried bricks to brick-layers. A sculptor made a marble piece showing a woman at such work, thus putting the law to ridicule. (b) Frau Marianne Hainisch, founder of the Austrian National Council of Women and its Hon. President. (c) Mrs. Louise Woods Beckman, an American woman who married a Swede and lived in Sweden most of her life. She joined the Swedish leaders in the suffrage movement. (d) Lady Battersea, daughter of Lord Rothschild, who dared to be a suffragist in England when the cause was young and much ridiculed.
