EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see Jessie Kenney, a remarkable British suffragette, dressed as a telegraph boy on 10 December 1909. This image captures a pivotal moment in history when women were fighting tirelessly for their right to vote. Jessie Kenney (1887-1985) can be seen here attempting to gain admittance to Prime Minister Herbert Asquith's meeting while cleverly disguised as a telegraph boy. Her determination and bravery shine through as she challenges the societal norms of her time. This photograph is not only an emblem of activism but also represents the struggle for equality that women faced during the early 20th century in Britain. It symbolizes the power of democracy and highlights the relentless campaign carried out by courageous individuals like Jessie Kenney. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical portrait, emphasizing both the seriousness and significance of her cause. Through her disguise, Jessie challenges gender roles and demands recognition for women's rights. As we reflect on this image from our Historica Graphica Collection, it serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of gender equality while acknowledging that there is still work to be done. It stands as a testament to all those who fought for suffrage and paved the way for future generations.
