Electoral Extension Franchise Joan Reform Suffrage Thirty Victorious Victory Vote Voting Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
At Last!: A Triumphant Milestone in Women's Suffrage (1918) This evocative cartoon, titled "At Last!", captures the jubilant moment when women aged 30 and over in the United Kingdom were granted the right to vote. The year was 1918, and the long-awaited extension of the franchise was a hard-won victory for the suffrage movement. The central figure in this powerful image is a resolute Joan of Arc, her sword raised high in triumph. The iconic medieval heroine, renowned for her courage and unwavering determination, serves as a potent symbol of the women's suffrage movement. Her victory flag bears the inscription "Women's Franchise," a testament to the historic achievement. The electoral reform that unfolded in 1918 was the culmination of decades of relentless campaigning and activism. Women, who had long been denied the fundamental right to vote, were finally given a voice in the political process. This cartoon, published in 1918, encapsulates the sense of elation and relief that accompanied this momentous milestone. The 1910s was a pivotal decade for women's rights, as the suffrage movement gained momentum and public support. This cartoon serves as a poignant reminder of the determination, resilience, and triumph of the women who fought for their right to vote. The image of Joan of Arc, standing victorious with her sword raised, continues to inspire and remind us of the power of perseverance and the importance of securing equal rights for all.
