EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights as Emmeline Pankhurst, a leading figure of the British suffragette movement, stands alongside another pioneering suffragist, Mrs. Wolstenholme Elmy, during the Women's Sunday Demonstration in Hyde Park on June 21, 1908. With both women wearing "Votes for Women" sashes, they led the march of thousands of suffragettes demanding the right to vote. Emmeline Pankhurst, the founder of the Women's Social and Political Union, was a tireless advocate for women's suffrage and is known for her militant tactics, including protests, hunger strikes, and arson. Mrs. Wolstenholme Elmy, aged 75 years at the time, was an early suffragist and a key figure in the formation of the Manchester Suffrage Society in 1866. Her long-standing commitment to women's rights and suffrage made her a respected and influential figure in the movement. This photograph is a testament to the determination and perseverance of these women and their fellow suffragettes, who fought for over five decades before women were granted the right to vote in the United Kingdom in 1928.
