EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Mabel Tuke, Joint Honourary Secretary of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), around 1908. Mabel Tuke, also known as Pansy, was a dedicated member of the WSPU since joining in 1906. Her commitment to the suffrage campaign was unwavering. One notable event in Mabel's activism occurred on March 1st, 1912 when she joined forces with Emmeline Pankhurst to throw a stone through the window of No. 10 Downing Street. The immediate consequence was their arrest, leading to Mabel being sentenced to three weeks in Holloway Gaol. Years later, Sylvia Pankhurst fondly recalled how Mabel possessed an impressive ability to reassure parents whose daughters wished to participate in the campaign for women's rights. This highlights her influential role not only within the movement but also as a trusted figure among families. The photograph showcases Mabel seated confidently, exuding determination and strength. It serves as a powerful reminder of her significant contributions towards achieving gender equality during this pivotal period in history. As part of our Historica Graphica Collection, this image symbolizes female empowerment and activism from the early 20th century. It represents an era where women like Mabel Tuke fought tirelessly for democracy and human rights while challenging societal norms that hindered progress towards gender equality.
