Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst, English suffragettes, in prison dress, 1908. Emmeline Pankhurst (1857-1918) and her daughter Christabel (1880-1958), were among the leaders of the campaign to secure the vote for women.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized print captures the iconic image of Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst, two influential English suffragettes, dressed in prison attire. The year is 1908, a time when women were fighting tirelessly for their right to vote. Emmeline Pankhurst, a courageous leader in the suffrage movement, faced arrest an astonishing twelve times within one year alone. Alongside her was her daughter Christabel, who shared her mother's passion for equality and justice. Together, they led a daring deputation to Parliament that resulted in their imprisonment at Holloway Prison. The photograph showcases the strength and determination of these remarkable women as they stand united against injustice. Their actions incited crowds to rush the House of Commons - an act that challenged societal norms and demanded change. Within this image lies not only a powerful representation of female activism but also a testament to the enduring bond between mother and daughter. As pioneers in the fight for women's rights, Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst paved the way for future generations by challenging traditional gender roles with unwavering conviction. Through this colorized print, we are reminded of their indomitable spirit as they fought fearlessly for democracy and equality. Their legacy continues to inspire us today as we strive towards creating a more inclusive society where every voice is heard and every person has equal rights.
