"Championing Equality: A Glimpse into the Fight for Women's Rights" Step back in time to witness the Suffragette demonstration on 21st May 1906, where brave women marched together, demanding their right to vote. In France, a trailblazer emerged as the first woman lawyer. This color litho captures her groundbreaking achievement and symbolizes progress towards gender equality. The iconic black and white photo of Emmeline Pankhurst's arrest outside Buckingham Palace on 21st May 1914 serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by courageous women who fought tirelessly for their rights. "Why not go the limit?" asks an intriguing poster advocating for women's right to smoke. It highlights how even seemingly small freedoms were once denied to women. Mabel Tuke, Joint Honourary Secretary of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), stands tall in this c1908 image, representing countless dedicated individuals who worked behind-the-scenes to advance women's rights. In April 1908, suffragettes launched a boat at Putney Bridge in London adorned with notices announcing their cause. Their bold actions aimed to draw attention and ignite conversations about equal rights. This arresting image from around 1910 shows a suffragette being apprehended—a poignant reminder that fighting for justice often comes at great personal cost. Across borders, we see an Iraqi security member proudly dipping his finger in ink after casting his vote—an illustration of progress towards inclusivity and empowerment worldwide. A joyous procession welcomes Emmeline Pankhurst, Christabel Pankhurst, and Mary Leigh upon their early release from prison on 19th December 1908. Their freedom marked another milestone achieved through unwavering determination. Inside Holloway Prison in 1908, Emmeline Pankhurst finds herself confined within its walls—a testament to her unwavering commitment despite facing adversity head-on.
