HISTORY
Learn about the cruel Victorian plumage trade and the feather-mad millinery industry. How did Emily call out the fashionistas of the day? Create your own piece of 'bad bird hat' propaganda, the more outrageous the better. Research the 'feather fad' before you begin: which bird species needed most protection then?
What does the RSPB Red, Amber and Green list mean for birds today?

NATURE / ENVIRONMENT
Emily was furious about birds being used as fashion accessories: this was a 'single issue campaign'. Think about the one thing you'd like to change today to help the environment, and create a campaign poster, complete with a slogan.
