EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the Gateshead branch of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS), as they gather in a tranquil garden, circa 1913. The exact location and date of this image remain a mystery, but it is believed to be just before or after the NUWSS Pilgrimage of 1913. The women, dressed in their finest attire, proudly display their circular NUWSS Red, White, and Green badges, a symbol of their commitment to the suffrage cause. At the front and extreme right of the image, a woman in white clothing may be identified as Miss C.M. Gordon, the North East Organiser for NUWSS, who played a significant role in the Newcastle to London route of the 1913 Pilgrimage. The Pilgrimage was a monumental event in the suffrage movement, as thousands of women marched from various cities to London to present a petition to the Prime Minister, demanding the right to vote. The serene setting of the garden serves as a stark contrast to the intense political climate of the time, highlighting the determination and resilience of these women in their pursuit of women's rights. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and solidarity that characterized the suffrage movement and the significant strides made towards achieving the right to vote for women.
