Not just a silly film at all.<br /><br />And I agree about how shocking it is how bad things are for women (and people generally!) in other countries... Our grandmothers and mothers brought things so far for us that people often don't stop to think about how things could have been here still. I'm so fortunate to be in a work environment and social environment where I actually feel respected but sometimes I stumble into people with old-fashioned misogynistic ideals and it absolutely enrages me. The fight for gender equality is definitely not over!Miss Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952933650748631441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189514062264938733.post-46510563061045753322013-06-30T20:40:22.748+01:002013-06-30T20:40:22.748+01:00It's the smile and the ribbon in my hair... Ev...It's the smile and the ribbon in my hair... Even if I looked serious, the fact would still remain that I had a ribbon in my hair. You do have to wonder about the misspelling of Davison - it's an indicator that you don't really care and someone isn't important enough for the trouble if you don't take the time to get their name right...Miss Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952933650748631441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189514062264938733.post-31231894950401639732013-06-25T08:05:08.211+01:002013-06-25T08:05:08.211+01:00Mary Poppins was my first introduction to them too...Mary Poppins was my first introduction to them too, I love that! I bet it was for so many. I would have loved to have gone to the Paradebut I had to work and din't book it off in time, I bet it wad amazing. Good work on your outfit, I hope people understood the significance. <br />I recently went to the 'Chime For Change' concert at Twickenham and I have to say it really opened my eyes to just how bad it is still for so many women in this world. I knew there was a problem but I didn't realise the extent of it. It makes me so thankful for women like Emily who helped get us the freedom we have in this country, and the power to help others that can't help themselves.

Good on you with the colours for the service. Hah hah! You do look more sweet than like a soldier in a petticoat. Maybe you shouldn't smile, but also maybe you'll win more support with honey than a fist. Love the Mary Poppins reference. You know, I think that is what made me ask about the Suffragettes.
