Prime Ministers, Presidents, Dr Who: Hanwell WI

Our banner was originally inspired by the cover of Diana Atkinson’s book “The remarkable lives of the Suffragettes”, however as the design unfolded the flag bearer became more glamorous!!!

We also wanted to show what the vote had achieved in politics since receiving the vote, then did not want to miss out on the great news we had our first ever female Dr Who, young girls need no longer only aspire to be the assistant…

The work was completed by the Hanwell WI in Ealing Central Bowls Club, it seemed quite relevant as the club itself had been going 100 years before it allowed in its first female bowlers.
