EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from 1908, Police officers are seen removing Edith New and Olivia Smith from the railings of 10, Downing Street, the residence of the British Prime Minister. The suffragettes, dressed in their militant best, had chained themselves to the railings and shouted "Votes for Women!" as a distraction while their fellow activists, Flora Drummond and Mary Macarthur, attempted to enter the cabinet meeting taking place at the time. This daring raid, which took place in January 1908, was just one of many acts of militancy employed by the suffragettes in their relentless pursuit of women's suffrage. The extension of the franchise to women, a cause that had been gaining momentum for decades, was a topic of intense debate in the political sphere. Despite the dramatic scene unfolding before them, the police were able to break the chains and arrest the two women with very little trouble. The image captures the moment of arrest, with the determined expressions of the officers in stark contrast to the defiant looks of the suffragettes. The suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote and participate in the political process, was a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of the women who fought for universal suffrage, and the role that militancy played in bringing about change.
