Women's Suffrage Christmas Cards
The Artists' Suffrage League (ASL) produced its own Christmas Cards as a means of spreading information about the need for women's suffrage. Elizabeth Crawford has pointed out in her book, Art and Suffrage: A Biographical Dictionary of Suffrage Artists (2018): "Between January 1909 and January 1910 the ASL issued four posters, six postcards, and two Christmas Cards, and held one meeting... The 1910 Annual Report reveals that the ASL published 7,000 postcards that year, 25,000 picture leafletrs, 6000 Christmas Cards, and 4000 posters."

At least two of the ASL Christmas cards were the work of Susan Beatrice Pearse, whose involvement with the suffrage cause has passed unnoticed until now and who a few years later achieved considerable success as the illustrator of the "Ameliaranne" books.
