Anti Petticoat Simply Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Suffragists Votes Wide Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the early 1910s depicts a passionate plea against women's suffrage, with the caption "Anti-Suffrage: Votes for Women Never! Let the suffragists know that you simply will not have petticoat government for this old country and world-wide Empire." At a time when the women's suffrage movement was gaining significant momentum, this anti-suffrage sentiment was a common refrain among those who opposed the idea of women having the right to vote. The image features a determined-looking woman, dressed in the height of Edwardian fashion, holding a large banner that boldly proclaims her stance. Her stern expression and outstretched arm convey a sense of conviction and resolve. Surrounding her are a group of men, all dressed in suits and hats, who appear to be in agreement with her message. The backdrop of the image is a grand, ornate room, with high ceilings, large windows, and intricate architectural details. The use of rich colors and dramatic lighting adds to the sense of importance and gravity of the scene. Despite the anti-suffrage sentiment expressed in this image, history would ultimately prove the suffragists right. Women's suffrage was granted in various countries throughout the early 20th century, with the United States passing the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote. This image serves as a fascinating reminder of the intense debates and passionate beliefs that surrounded the women's suffrage movement during this period in history.
