EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the determination and unwavering spirit of Mary E Gawthorpe (1881-1973), a prominent Suffragette leader during the early 20th century. Mary is depicted in her prime, around the year 1907, when the Women's Suffrage movement was gaining significant momentum in the United Kingdom. Mary Gawthorpe was a tireless organizer and a dedicated member of the National Women's Social and Political Union (NWSPU). Established in 1903, the NWSPU was a militant organization that employed various tactics to demand women's right to vote. Mary's role as an organizer placed her at the forefront of the movement, and she played a crucial part in the planning and execution of many high-profile protests and demonstrations. The caption accompanying this photograph reads, "Votes for Women, Miss. Mary Gawthorpe, Organiser National Womens Social and Political Union." This simple yet powerful statement encapsulates the essence of the Suffragette movement and the unwavering commitment of women like Mary to secure the right to vote for their sex. The year 1907 was a pivotal moment in the Suffragette movement, as it marked the beginning of a more militant phase. Mary and her fellow activists began to employ tactics such as window-breaking, arson, and hunger strikes to draw attention to their cause. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles endured by Suffragettes like Mary Gawthorpe in their quest for women's suffrage. Mary's legacy continues to inspire generations of women who have fought and continue to fight for gender equality and women's rights. This portrait is not only a testament to her remarkable activism but also a powerful symbol of the resilience and determination of the Suffragette movement.
