The color white allowed the suffragettes to stand out in the media.

With white as their calling card, the suffragettes stood out not only in the streets, but also in the media coverage of their marches. With black-and-white photography as the primary form of visual documentation, the color of their white outfits provided a very clear, bright, and sharp contrast on the front pages of newspapers, attracting the eye of readers and allowing them to recruit even more attention and followers for their cause.
