EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the determined and resolute gaze of Rosamund Massy (1870-1947), a prominent member of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) during the early 20th century suffrage movement in the United Kingdom. The photograph, taken circa 1909, portrays Mrs. Massy in her prime, her expressive eyes reflecting the unwavering commitment and passion she held for women's rights and suffrage. Rosamund Massy was an active participant in the suffragette cause, taking part in numerous protests and demonstrations. Her dedication to the movement led her to be imprisoned multiple times, most notably during the infamous Black Friday demonstration of November 1910. During her incarceration, she went on hunger strike, further highlighting her unyielding resolve. The Black Friday demonstration, which took place on November 18, 1910, was a turning point in the suffrage movement. Thousands of women marched towards Parliament to present a petition to the Prime Minister, demanding the right to vote. The peaceful protest was met with violent opposition from the police, resulting in numerous injuries and arrests. Rosamund Massy was among those arrested and imprisoned. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragettes, who fought tirelessly for women's right to vote. Rosamund Massy's unwavering commitment to the cause and her role in the Black Friday demonstration make this portrait an essential piece of historical documentation. The photograph is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the suffragettes and their significant impact on the history of women's rights.
