thanks, could do...the suffragettes chained themselves to railings so they had longer to give a speech about why women should be allowed to vote, while the police tried to unchain them. So I thought I would have one of the kids chained (obviously humanely with a paper chain) to the railing, with a policeman kid carrying the railing. It's meant to be amusing not disturbing, but I'm not sure the good folk of my small town will share my sort of humour :-/
They also used to go on starvation diets and be forcibly fed through tubes in their stomach but I don't think a kids carnival is the place to represent this aspect of womens' oppression, so will be giving that side of it a miss lol.
Think the railing idea may be a bit ott anyway so possibly will tone it down and just have kids in pretty dresses and hats with Votes For Women sashes on. Supposed to be a fun entertaining day...not a political statement about misogyny by me... :-)
