Marion Wallace Dunlop (22 December 1864 – 12 September 1942) was a Scottish artist, author and illustrator of children's books,[1] and suffragette. She was the first and one of the most well known British suffrage activists to go on hunger strike on 5 July 1909, after being arrested in July 1909 for militancy.[2] She was at the centre of the Women's Social and Political Union and designed some of the most influential processions of the UK suffrage campaign,[3] as well as designing banners for them.
