As you’ve likely read/heard/seen, there have been some over-reported and under-analyzed protests in London around the blockbuster G20 world leader summit.

Perpetuating that trend with a retroactive historisticle, The Times of London has seized upon this opportune political moment to chronicle the Top 10 Stylish Protesters. You’re probably wondering who the foxy lady at right is. That would be Emmeline Pankhurst, the fashion-savvy leader of Britain’s suffragette movement and number 7 on The Times‘ list.
