The women’s rights movement led by the Suffragettes in the early 20th century fought to give women the right to vote. Not only was this a successful political movement, it paved the way for the fashion of the future.
The term suffragettes, was coined in jest, to mock the efforts of those on the front lines of the fight to win equal rights for women; the first priority of which was the right to vote. Throughout this battle, a uniform naturally developed, both as a means of identifying fellow union members and to give the women more freedom of movement, while picketing, protesting and generally being much more active than the current fashion ideals dictated. At the time, a well dressed woman was a leisurely one; in fact, the heavy corsetry and heavy layers of fabrics prevented women from even walking any significant distance.
The suffragettes adopted clothing styles with slightly shorter skirts, less corsetry and less fabric. This was one giant step closer to the swinging fashion of the flappers that followed and to the sportswear that became available to women in the coming decades.
The picture above shows women in full suffragette regalia. N.B. Though you can’t see, the movements official colours were purple (for dignity), white (for purity) and green (for hope) which added much needed joy to the seriousness of the struggle.
So we have about a whole new record worth of material and there has been a major overhaul for us. After much deliberation and a discussion with Grady we’ve realized that collaborating from a distance is going to be impossible. Andrew and I are restructuring the band with him moving to second guitar. We have a few drummers in mind but we are now starting to search for a bass player who can play some of the songs from our first record as well as play our new stuff (if anyone is interested, holla at me son), which is no easy task as Grady wrote some pretty intricate, amazing stuff. Updates and recordings to follow.
I write this shit as if people actually read it,
