This piece of suffragette memorabilia sold for tens of thousands at auction, showing again that the poster and banner market is increasing in price. Suffragette memorabilia’s pricing varies, based on the condition of the items, how many were made, and whether any leading figures signed them.

The suffragette movement was a twentieth-century political cause that was dedicated to helping white women get the right to vote. The first suffragettes were the Women’s Social and Political Union, and memorabilia from that WSPU era make the most money at auction. Signatures from WSPU founder Emmeline Pankhurst add the most value to the memorabilia.
