Stained glass suffragette hanging

Description

 

This stained glass portrait would make the perfect present for an activist, feminist or otherwise principled woman. It’s my own design based on a 1908 photograph in the Dundee courier.  I’d like to think she was dressed in purple, white and green, the suffrage colours

It’s made using the copper foil (Tiffany) technique with brass base and sturdy hanging line designed to take weights of up to 8.4kg. The outside edge around the neck area is strengthened with steel reinforcement so she’s sturdy.

Mary Molony was a young suffragette activist, best known for ringing a bell at a Dundee by-election every time Winston Churchill spoke. Churchill had recently spoken out against women’s suffrage and she was reported to have said “Who is the strongest — an Irish woman or Mr. Winston Churchill?” (Mary was born in Dublin).

Price includes Postage and Packing (UK only). Please contact me for international shipping options.

Make it a matching set with my

Suffragette Flag
