Alice Hawkins

On Sunday Leicester’s leading suffragette was honoured with the unveiling of a statue in the new market square. She was a working class, socialist who worked in a shoe factory by day and raised 6 children & campaigned on women’s suffrage in her time off. There were about 500 people at the march & rally.  Women may have the vote but there is still a lot of work to do before we get full equality. PCS will continue this work with all of our members, women and men.
