ABSTRACT
Chapter 7 illustrates the rich feminist work of the Fellowship between the feminist waves, highlighting the strength of sisterhood that developed during suffrage campaigning that continued to be fostered with like-minded feminist groups and reciprocating allies within a vibrant network of feminist friendship circles spanning England and Australia. The memory of Suffragettes and ancestral feminist pioneers were offered up as heroic role models to goad others to do their feminist duty and reminder to not waste their hard-won right to vote. The Fellowship successfully utilized a particular brand of memory activism, by harking back to what they perceived as a golden age of feminism cutting across generations to recognize the bravery of women who had dared to transgress established gender norms to endure hunger striking and forcible feeding with resultant trauma endured to body and mind. Suffragette colleagues amplified a range of common causes drawing together militants in England and Australia into a tight commemorative circle and became an essential tool in the feminist arsenal for marketing and attention-seeking purposes in a demonstration of respect and admiration.
