“Make Your Lives Beautiful”

The De Morgan’s used their art to reflect social and political issues of their day. In particular, they both engaged with the Women’s Suffrage Movement. Evelyn signed the Declaration of Women’s Suffrage in 1889 and William was the Vice-President for the Men’s League of Women’s Suffrage in 1914. Evelyn’s painting ‘The Captives’ address feminist issues and this is on display at Cannon Hall.
