Suffrage Atelier was a publication collective campaigning for women's suffrage in England. It was founded by Laurence Housman, Alfred Pearse,〔p.44 ''Funny Girls:Campaigning for Equality'', Diane Atkinson〕 and Clemence Housman. Clemence was a writer, illustrator, and wood engraver, and her brother Laurence was a fantasy writer. Both were very politically motivated. The Atelier was formed to prepare for 21 June 1909 Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) demonstration. The Atelier, which became a major political entity, accepted as its members women who were professional illustrators in some form. It also encouraged non-professional artists to submit work, and paid them a small percentage of the profits.〔http://vads.ahds.ac.uk/collections/FSB.html〕 It ran printmaking workshops and held competitions. The Suffrage Atelier's policy was to produce only what could be quickly reproduced and circulated. Clemence Houseman was a well respected member of the WSPU, so much of the production of the Suffrage Atelier was distributed in the WSPU store chains and national newspaper. The Suffrage Ateliers also had a large body of supporting subscribers that included both men and non-professionals. Subscribers were encouraged to submit fine art, poster and post card designs, craft work, and donations. Subscribers also helped organize pageants and exhibitions. ==See also== *List of suffragists and suffragettes *List of women's rights activists *Timeline of women's suffrage *Women's suffrage in the United Kingdom *Women's suffrage publications 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suffrage Atelier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
