Annie Kenney, 1908. Artist: Unknown

Annie Kenney, organiser, June 1908. Born in Lancashire, Annie Kenney started work aged 10, attending school for half the day and working at the mill for the other half, later becoming active in trade unionism. She and Christabel Pankhurst committed the first militant act at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester in October 1905. She moved to London to become a paid organiser, operating mostly in the West Country, frequently appearing on suffragette processions dressed in her mill clothes, clogs and shawl. Annie was utterly loyal to Emmeline and Christabel, the only working-class woman to become part of the senior hierarchy of the Women's Social and Political Union, becoming deputy in 1912. She served four prison sentences, and her three sisters, Jennie, Jessie and Nell, and a brother were all involved in the campaign. She is dressed for Women's Sunday on 21 June 1908. She wears a purple, white and green Votes for Women badge, made of cotton, and her badge of office as Chairman of one of the twenty platforms in Hyde Park, from which speeches were made.
