Women on Stamps is one of my favourite philatelic themes, and today's topic on Sunday Stamps.
I have chosen some stamps about Women's Suffrage:
 |
| 75th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage in France France, 2009 |
 |
| Voting Rights for Women Netherlands, 1979 |
 |
Suffragette behind Prison Window ('Equal Rights for Women') The United Kingdom, 1999 |
 |
| The United Kingdom, 2018 |
 |
| Idem |
 |
| Idem |
 |
| USA, 1970 |
I have never got this stamp, but I have sent it:
 |
75th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage in Spain Spain, 2006 |
Some famous suffragists on stamps:
 |
| Josephine Butler (1828 – 1906) The United Kingdom, 2016 |
 |
Thérèse Casgrain (1896-1981) Canada, 1985 |
 |
| Sojourner Truth (1797-1983) The United States |
A great march through history. The suffragette 'Deeds Not Words' always goes through my mind when politicians are grandstanding.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good slogan for any time.
DeleteA lot of very nice stamps, Eva. Thankfully all these women have fought for rights, and new generations continue to do so.
ReplyDeleteIn most cases, their lives weren't easy! I'm very grateful to them.
DeleteI sometimes have a fantasy life where I live in these earlier years, but it really wasn't a great time. These women should never be forgotten.
ReplyDeleteStill far from equality, but no doubt this is the best time for women.
DeleteQuite an impressive assortment there!
ReplyDeleteImpressive achievements by these women!
DeleteWe owe a lot to these women.
ReplyDeleteWe do.
DeleteI am ashamed to say that I had not seen the GB Votes for Women stamps before.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting issue. The stamps look great in person.
