Today was the huge Processions march, happening in Edinburgh, London, Cardiff and Belfast, marking a century since Parliament, after decades of campaigning and protesting, finally allowed (some) women to have the vote for the first time in the UK.
Today we probably mostly think of Suffragettes as fighting (sometimes literally) for equal rights for the voting franchise, but the movement also took in a wide spectrum of social problems from poverty to worker's rights and unions, childcare, healthcare access, all things we are still, infuriatingly, having to keep fighting for today, which, along with recent global movements like #MeToo, Weinstein and more means this isn't the past, it is, like most history, still living and relevant to today.
Huge turnout for the Edinburgh march gathering in the Meadows before marching through town towards Parliament. There were silver-haired older ladies, young women and even wee girl guides. I hope the latter get to grow up in a more equal future.

Fairchild's latest art exhibition is now open! Chapungu: Custom and Legend, a Culture in Stone, features more than 80 stone sculptures, some reaching 11 feet tall and weighing up to three tons. Crafted by artists of the Shona tribe of Zimbabwe, these sculptures depict the culture and way of life of the Zimbabwean people. They are grouped by themes throughout the lowlands of the Garden. You don't want to miss these majestic pieces, on exhibition at Fairchild through May 2013.
Chapungu: Custom and Legend, a Culture in Stone, is on exhibit in the lowlands of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden with 82 unique, hand-carved sculptures by African artists from Zimbabwe.
Carved from opal stone, cobalt and springstone, these alluring works of art will be grouped by theme: Custom and Legend, Family, Nature and Environment, Role of Elders, Role of Women, Social Comment, The Spirit World and Village Life. These amazing sculptures range in height from three to 10 feet and weigh between 600 and 6,000 pounds.
“Each of these sculptures is a unique, one of a kind creation that the artists have produced based on their own ideas and passions,” says Roy Guthrie, Chapungu Curator.
Many of the 35 artists represented are from Zimbabwe’s native tribe, the Shona people. The Shona tribe believes that the “Chapungu Bird” is a good omen, bringing them protection and good fortune. Chapungu is a metaphor for the Bateleur Eagle, Terathopius ecaudatus, a powerful bird of prey that can fly up to 300 miles a day at 30 to 50 miles an hour and lives in the savannahs, open forests and semi-deserts of central and southern Africa.
