about

Aaron’s Inspiration:

This song was inspired by the suffrage movement. There were so many women involved that it would be impossible to mention them individually, but this track honours them all, particularly Flora Murray (1869-1923), and Elsie Inglis (1864-1917). Despite the obstacles in their path, suffragists Flora (a medical pioneer), and Elsie (a surgeon, doctor and teacher) lived by the motto 'deeds not words' and dedicated their lives to pioneering work and improving access to healthcare for women, the war wounded, children and the poor.

The extensive list of incredible and selfless achievements of both Flora and Elsie in the field of medicine and in support of the suffrage movement are humbling and awe inspiring. There were many powerful symbols of the suffrage movement, but I was particularly inspired by the image of the Sunflower.
