The contribution made by black women to 100 years of women's suffrage has been celebrated in Bristol.
Bristol Women's Voice said they wanted to "unearth some incredible stories of some of the incredible women of colour that fought for the right to vote".
Silu Pascoe, of Bristol Radical History Group, said black women's stories were "hidden from mainstream history. Events like this help us to look back to see the achievements and resilience of black and Asian women."
There is very little evidence of black and minority ethnic women taking part in the fight for women to vote. Although black and Asian people had been settled in Britain for a long time, they made up a very small percentage of the UK population until after the end of World War Two.
Census records only documented a person's place of birth, but this is no guide to ethnic origin because so many white British men and women were born in Africa, India, or the West Indies.
