A rare signed suffragette portrait postcard of Flora Drummond (1878-1949), one of the most prominent and recognisable organisers of the Women's Social and Political Union. Nicknamed "The General" for her military-style uniform and leadership of marches and demonstrations, Drummond was among the most visible figures in the militant phase of the British suffrage campaign, regularly leading processions on horseback and acting as one of Emmeline Pankhurst's most trusted lieutenants. Dated at the height of the suffrage campaign and bearing the printed address of the Women's Social and Political Union headquarters at Clement's Inn.
