EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful symbol of the suffragette movement in early 20th century England. The image showcases a beautifully embroidered silk and metal badge, worn by speakers at the Suffragette meeting held in Hyde Park on July 23rd, 1910. The rally was a significant event for the women's rights movement, drawing an estimated quarter of a million people to support the cause. However, it is believed that this figure may have been greatly exaggerated. Amongst the notable speakers present was Emmeline Pankhurst, one of the leading figures in the suffragette movement. The badge itself represents more than just an accessory; it embodies the determination and resilience of these brave women who fought tirelessly for gender equality and enfranchisement. Worn proudly on sashes or pinned to clothing, badges like this served as political tags that conveyed their unwavering commitment to securing voting rights for women. This photograph serves as a reminder of both progress made and challenges faced during this pivotal time in history. It reflects not only the strength and unity within the suffrage campaign but also highlights ongoing discrimination against women. Today, we look back at these courageous individuals with admiration for their tireless efforts towards achieving equal rights for all genders. Their legacy continues to inspire future generations striving for social justice and equality worldwide.
