'You must make women count as much as men; you must have an equal standard of morals; and the only way to enforce that is through giving women political power so that you can get that equal moral standard registered in the laws of the country. It is the only way.' Emmeline Pankhurst, 1913
I am honoured to have been chosen by Helen Pankhurst, to create a collection of jewellery to celebrate Centenary Action's Mission 2028 – to address the barriers facing women in politics and campaign for a gender equal parliament.
Inspired by the original Suffragette jewellery, but with a Contemporary wordy twist, these are designs to empower the women who wear them.
50% of the purchase price of all Women Count MP brooches and 20% of everything else in the collection will go to Centenary Action.
About Wear and Resist
Wear and Resist was founded by Sarah Day in early 2017 as a way to channel her frustration and rage at the political climate into a creative pursuit that would raise money for women's charities. Sarah designs and makes everything in her Oxfordshire studio, with a proportion of sales going to these charities.
