In the beginning of the twentieth century, the suffragettes campaigned strongly. Previous studies at home and abroad have focused on the campaign's political aspects of the history of feminism, gender and politics. However, few studies have adequately discussed the role of clothing in the suffragette movement. In this article, I will examine the details and the meaning of clothing during the movement. The main source is the Votes for Women which was published by the Women's Social and Political Union. As a result, it can be concluded that items such as banners and badges decorated with symbol colours had a role in developing a collective vision among the suffragettes and supporting the aim of achieving women's causes.
