Suffrage Atelier (1909-1914) - Polling Station 1909-13

Suffrage Atelier was an artists' collective campaigning for women's suffrage in England. It was founded in February 1909 by Laurence Housman, Clemence Housman and Alfred Pearse. Clemence was a writer, illustrator, and wood engraver, and her brother Laurence was a fantasy writer.

The Atelier, which became a major political entity, accepted as members women who were professional illustrators and writers, but also encouraged non-professional artists to submit work and paid them a small percentage of any profits. It held its first public meeting in London in February 1909, styling itself as an "Arts and Crafts Society working for the enfranchisement of women".
