EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and grace of Margaret Wintringham (1879-1955) during her historic election campaign as the second woman, and the first British-born woman, to take her seat in the House of Commons. Wintringham, a British Liberal Party politician, is seen here with a bouquet of flowers, likely presented to her as a gesture of support during her bid for the constituency of Louth in 1921. Her elegant attire and poised demeanor convey a sense of confidence and resilience, as she navigated the challenges of being a woman in politics during a time when female representation in parliament was still rare. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a pivotal moment in British political history, and serves as a reminder of the trailblazing women who have paved the way for future generations of female politicians.
