Explore the women's rights movement with a self-guided audio walking tour
Explore the Holborn area of London with this self-guided audio walking tour, based on the story of the militant suffrage movement.
The story begins in 1906, when Emmeline Pankhurst moves to London. She is a co-founder of a women's rights organization and she is fed up with women being treated as second class citizens.
At this point, the women’s rights movement in the UK had been at a standstill for 40 years. The new organization take radical actions such as public protests, arson, and bombings.
Walk through Holborn, which was the epicenter of the London suffrage movement. Your guide is a user-friendly app, equipped with a map, GPS and a narrator, which makes sure you walk in the right direction.
Examine unique old photos and listen to the story while you walk between the locations where it all took place. You'll see what the lives of the suffragettes were like and how their actions impacted women's rights.
The only thing you need to go on this tour is a smartphone with headphones.
