On 18 November 1910, Ada Wright joined hundreds of other suffragettes marching to the House of Commons to protest the shelving of the Conciliation Bill that would have enfranchised 1 million Englishwomen. ... Eventually dubbed 'Black Friday', this demonstration became one of the most notorious of the hundreds of suffrage marches, parades and street actions carefully staged for viewing by the city of London and its burgeoning daily newspapers.
