EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the determination and resilience of a mother and her baby during the early days of the women's suffrage movement in the United Kingdom. The image, titled "Rights of Women: A Mother and Baby Stand Outside the Offices of the Local Government Board," was taken circa 1908 by an unknown photographer and signed by Mary Lowndes (M.L). The scene unfolds outside the offices of the Local Government Board, where John Burns, a prominent figure in British politics at the time, refuses entry to the mother, asserting that mothers do not hold the same parental rights as fathers. The mother, undeterred, stands her ground, shielding her baby from the elements with a cloak, as she makes her stand for her own rights and those of her child. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by women during the suffrage movement, as they fought for the right to vote and be recognized as equal citizens. The image also highlights the intersectionality of the suffrage movement, as it touched on issues of gender, motherhood, and class. The photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of the suffragettes and their unwavering commitment to securing women's rights and paving the way for future generations.
