Suffragette Shakespeare

Join independent scholar Nikki Pearson as she chats to us about her work in the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust's archives to find out more about the little known histories of Stratford-upon-Avon's suffragettes.

Who were the women who made a political difference in and around Stratford-upon-Avon?

How did Shakespeare play a part in their obtaining the right to vote?

How did ‘Shakespeare’s suffragettes’ present themselves?

We're looking forward to learning from Nikki about their inspiration and activism in Shakespeare's home town.

Led by Nikki Pearson.

About our Research Conversations
Every month we host a live online talk which provides you with the opportunity to listen to people who are engaged in Shakespeare-related research. The talk begins with a thirty-minute presentation, followed by an open discussion.

All of our Research Conversations are completely free to attend, though we do encourage donations in order to support our work and keep Shakespeare's story alive. So if you are in the position to support us with a donation, no matter large or small, we would be incredibly grateful.

Listen back: If you were unable to attend our previous virtual Research Conversations, want a recap, or completely new to it and want to see what it's all about, you can catch up on our audio recordings .

This event is part of our multi-year programme, celebrating The Women Who Made Shakespeare
