Over 3,000 women marched through London mud for the right to vote

On 9 February 1907, more than 3,000 women walked from Hyde Park Corner to Exeter Hall in cold, driving rain, in what became known as the Mud March, the first large public procession organised by the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. It took place years before the suffragette movement turned to property damage, and helped establish mass public marches as a tactic of the British suffrage campaign.
