Celebrate the incredible political and artistic achievements of the Actresses’ Franchise League. In December 1908, they launched themselves onto the political stage with their satirical sketches, comic monologues and powerful plays. Their campaigning work, performed all over the country from village halls to West End theatres, challenged the status quo and the chaste conventions of the Edwardian Stage.
