Rebel Tours - Suffragist or Suffragette? Beyond Pankhurst
Rebel Tours is a radical history collective based in London and Manchester, dedicated to uncovering the rebellious, too-often-erased stories buried in Britain’s streets. Combining rigorous research with accessible storytelling, they organise walking tours and talks that highlight history’s rogues and rebels. Rather than celebrating kings and conquerors, Rebel Tours centres the people who challenged power from below, using archives, art and public space as their tools.
We are diving into the radical roots of Britain’s struggle for women’s suffrage, exploring beyond the ideas of “moderate” suffragists and “militant” suffragettes. We’ll discover the key players in each camp, where they clashed, and internal dramas that reshaped the movement. Along the way, we’ll ask who was left out of the story and why. Finally we’ll ask ourselves, where would we stand?
This amazing talk will be hosted at the Florence Nightingale Museum and a ticket to the talk also includes the opportunity to explore the museum. This includes our newest exhibition - In Focus Nurse Catherine Pine - which chronicles the life and work of the private nurse of Emmeline Pankhurst, her family, and the suffragettes. Her medal is on display for the first time in England after going missing for 80 years!
This event is ticketed and must be booked in advance.
When: Thursday 9th June
Tickets are £10 per person
Talk starts at 7:00pm. The museum will open at 6:00pm to give everyone a chance to explore. Talk lasts approximately 1 hour. The museum will close at 9:00pm.
