Bother Dating Feminist Guise Howard Lecturer Movement Opponents Performed Sheet Song Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Miss Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Mrs. Howard Paul, a prominent figure in the women's rights movement of the late 19th century, performing the song "Bother the Men" in the guise of Miss Grym. Dating back to the early 1870s, this suffrage song resonated strongly with opponents of the suffragette movement, reflecting the growing tension and debate surrounding women's rights to vote. Mrs. Paul's expressive performance is showcased in this image, as she passionately sings the lyrics, her determined gaze locked onto the audience. The title "Bother the Men" itself suggests a playful yet assertive approach to advocating for women's suffrage, a strategy that was both effective and provocative in the context of the time. The image is believed to date from around 1900, a period when the suffragette movement was gaining significant momentum. Mrs. Paul's role as a feminist and lecturer on women's rights further underscores the importance of this photograph as a historical artifact. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the tactics and attitudes of the suffragette movement during its formative years. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection focused on women's history, social reform, or the suffragette movement. Its authenticity and historical significance make it a must-have for scholars, educators, and anyone interested in learning more about the rich history of the women's rights movement in the United States.
