Sunday Stamps | Votes for Women

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

Some more stamps that I had already uploaded to this blog:

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

  1. A great march through history. The suffragette 'Deeds Not Words' always goes through my mind when politicians are grandstanding.

  2. A lot of very nice stamps, Eva. Thankfully all these women have fought for rights, and new generations continue to do so.

    1. In most cases, their lives weren't easy! I'm very grateful to them.

  3. I 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.

    1. Still far from equality, but no doubt this is the best time for women.
