London's Department Stores to celebrate the Suffragette Movement

London's department stores are joining forces to mark the centenary of women's voting rights in the U.K. Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Fortnum & Mason will be commemorating the suffrage movement through dedicated window displays. Each of the department store's window displays will pay homage to the West End street protests of 1912, when suffragettes smashed department store windows to get their message across.
The three department stores' displays will feature a design representative of the smashed windows. Harvey Nichols' window will feature a shattered glass effect alongside a famous quote by Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the British Suffragette movement. A smashed window effect will also cover the Fortnum & Mason windows, and behind the glass, hampers will be on display to show the food and blankets that imprisoned suffragettes would receive from their loved ones. The Harrods' window will feature historic posters from the movement plastered onto a red brick backdrop, symbolizing the smashed windows. Footage of feminists, past and present, will also be playing on screens.
