EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the arson attack on St. Mary's Church in Whitekirk, East Lothian, Scotland, which took place on the morning of February 26, 1914. The church, which dates back to the 12th century, was severely damaged in the blaze, with its roof and interior sustaining significant damage. At the time, suffragettes were the prime suspects for the attack, as the women's suffrage movement was in full swing and such acts of militancy were not uncommon. The church's minister wrote in despair, "Some women did the devil's work here on Thursday morning." The identity of the specific suffragettes responsible for the attack was never definitively determined, but Janie Allen, a suffragette who had been forcibly fed in Calton Prison in Edinburgh, was later implicated. Forcible feeding was a common form of punishment used against suffragettes who went on hunger strike in protest of their lack of the right to vote. The attack on St. Mary's Church was seen as a form of retaliation against the oppressive treatment of suffragettes in prisons. The photograph provides a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and militancy employed by the suffragettes in their fight for women's suffrage. The struggle for women's rights and the achievement of the vote in the UK is an important chapter in the history of gender equality and human rights.
