Summary note

Suffragette board game; the title conflates the names of Emmeline Pankhurst, leader of the Women's Social and Political Union, and Prime Minister Herbert Asquith. First advertised in Votes for Women, the newspaper of the Women's Social and Political Union, on Oct. 22, 1909. The playing board features fifty squares arranged in a spiral, the background in the W.S.P.U. colors of purple, white and green; each playing piece is a suffragette figure wearing a sash in the W.S.P.U. colors and carrying a rolled petition. In the center is the goal, an image of the Houses of Parliament. The reverse of the board is backed in imitation snakeskin-leather paper.
