Liberal Militant Militants Punch Sister Suffragette Abiding Rights Shrieking
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Law Abiding V Militants: A View of Militant Suffragism - The Shrieking Sister," dates back to 1906 and offers a compelling insight into the intense and passionate fight for women's suffrage during that era. The cartoon, created as a punchline in a liberal publication, illustrates the contrast between the law-abiding women and the militant suffragettes. The image on the left depicts a calm, composed woman, dressed in a formal attire and holding a banner that reads "Law Abiding." She represents the women who believed in peaceful protests and obeyed the law, even as they campaigned tirelessly for their right to vote. On the right, a fiery, shrieking woman, dressed in militant attire and brandishing a rock, symbolizes the more radical suffragettes. They resorted to militant tactics, such as arson, vandalism, and even violence, to draw attention to their cause and force the government to grant women the right to vote. The cartoon's title, "The Shrieking Sister," highlights the dramatic contrast between the two women and the intensity of the militant suffragettes' actions. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the determination and passion that fueled the women's suffrage movement, ultimately leading to the passage of the 19th Amendment in the United States, granting women the right to vote in 1920. This print is an essential piece of history, offering a unique perspective on the militant suffragism movement and the complexities of the fight for women's rights. It is a testament to the resilience and courage of the women who refused to be silenced and fought for their place in history.
