Suffragists at Hartshead

From the Kirklees Image Archive (K021809)

Can you help uncover the story behind this photograph? The theme of famous women from history was often used in pageants and processions by women involved in the suffrage movement. But who are the women in the photograph and who are they dressed as? What was the occasion?

If you have any information that could help, please comment in the section below. Thank you!

Update: To the right of the banner wearing a tie is Alice Ormondroyd (nee Hooson).
