**About Herstorical Tours**

Photo: Urban Adventurer

Herstorical Tours are dedicated to telling the story of those who were silenced and oppressed and considered as ‘hysterical’ in history when they attempted to speak up: women.

Herstorical Tours’ walking tours are created by women to women. Each tour has special focus on the dark and curious and explores the hidden nooks and crannies of the history of women.

Votes for Women!

Today, there’s nothing remarkable about the fact that both men and women have equal rights to vote on elections.

However, it wasn’t always that obvious!

Join Herstorical Tours and follow the literal footsteps of the fearless suffragettes and visit the exact locations where they marched, fought, preached and – some of them – even gave their lives to finally get the right for women to vote.

The Lesser-Known Heroines

You’ve probably heard about the martyrdom of Emily Wilding Davison who put herself under the King’s horse or Millicent Fawcett, who even has a bronze statue at Parliament Square, but what about the lesser-known heroines?

‘Votes for Women! Suffragettes at Bow Street and Beyond!’ lets you travel back in time and meet the lesser-known heroines of the suffragette movement.

Through theatrical elements and role play, you’ll meet face-to-face with…

…a refugee singer and actress who became an arsonist,

…a working-class suffragette and socialist feminist who became the leading figure of the movement,

….‘Slasher’ Mary who vandalised a famous painting at the National Gallery,

…and many more.

You’ll learn shocking facts about the suffragette, such as how women who went on hunger strike in prison were force fed, why suffragette women chose to go to prison instead of paying a fine and walk home freely and how differently were working-class and upper-class members were treated in prison.

Your expert tour guide, Maria, will bring London history to life with acting, drama and a pinch of comedy and joke where appropriate.

After all…
