And it’s not just at the 2019 Remarkable Women Awards that women have worn white en masse.

Female democrats including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Nancy Pelosi wore white to Trump’s State of the Union speech this year in solidary with the suffrage movement. And at the 2019 BAFTAs, suffragette white was worn by everyone from Letitia Wright to Kate Middleton.

The spirit of the suffragettes lives on.
