Working class suffragette Annie Kenney worked to make sure the suffrage movement fought for all women, no matter their income. In her struggle for the vote she went to prison 12 times, each time leaving even more determined to continue fighting💪#womanaday

In 2016, only a fifth of stores reviewed used gender at all as a way to sort and sell toys online, which was a drop of over 70% since 2012. @partydelightsUK who not join the 80% who don't sort by gender?
