EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in the suffragette movement in Britain during 1913. The image portrays a brave suffragette confronting two policemen, symbolizing the courage and defiance of women fighting for their right to vote. The suffrage campaign was at its peak during this time, with women employing various forms of protest, direct action, and civil disobedience to demand equal voting rights. Although partial suffrage was achieved in 1918, it took another ten years for all women to finally gain the right to vote in 1928. Taken from "The Story of Seventy Momentous Years" this print serves as a visual reminder of the struggles faced by these determined activists. It showcases the determination and resilience of female campaigners who fearlessly challenged societal norms and fought against gender inequality. In black and white monochrome, this photograph carries a metaphorical weight that transcends time. It represents not only the specific historical context but also stands as an enduring symbol for all those who have fought tirelessly for justice and equality throughout history. Created by Sport & General, this artwork encapsulates both the spirit of activism and the importance of preserving our collective memory. As we reflect on this image today, it serves as a reminder that progress is made through perseverance and unwavering dedication to social change.
