Cambridge Enfranchisement Marketplace Members Nuwss Parliamentary Petition Societies Stall Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Support Weekly Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of the Cambridge branch of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS), as they set up their weekly stall in the local marketplace in 1908. The members, dressed in their distinctive white blouses and purple skirts, are seen engaging with the public, showcasing a petition in support of the Parliamentary Enfranchisement of Women. The NUWSS, also known as the 'Suffragettes,' were a leading force in the British suffrage movement, advocating for women's right to vote through peaceful protests and public demonstrations. The women in this image are seen in the heart of their community, reaching out to their fellow citizens and gathering signatures for their cause. The petition, a powerful symbol of their collective efforts, would have been presented to Parliament, adding to the growing pressure for women's suffrage. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights, as these courageous women fought for the recognition and representation they deserved.
