womenandverbs:fuckyeahvintage:Feminist strike in London, 1911As someone else pointed out, these aren’t 1911 dresses; they’re mid-Victorian dresses. On the presumption that the women’s signs identify them by their own names, this has to be at some point before Mrs. [Jane Welsh] Carlyle’s death in 1866. (More on her and her famously quotable husband here.) Since Jenny Lind lived in England from 1856 onwards, I’d be inclined to put it somewhere in the decade between that point and Jane Carlyle’s death. I can’t make out the other placards. -- source link
