Anti Brains Declares Give Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Suffragist Votes Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking photograph captures the intense debate surrounding women's suffrage in the early 1900s, as exemplified by the stern gaze of this Anti-Suffragist. Dressed in a sharp suit and holding a cane, he stands as a symbol of the opposition to women's right to vote. The caption "Don't give votes to women, they have no BRAINS" emblazoned on a banner behind him encapsulates the derisive attitude towards women's intellectual capabilities held by many Anti-Suffragists. The Suffragette movement, which began in the late 1800s, aimed to secure the right to vote for women. The struggle for women's suffrage was a long and arduous one, marked by protests, marches, and even violence. This photograph offers a glimpse into the heated debates and entrenched beliefs that characterized the suffrage movement. Despite the challenges, the Suffragettes persisted, and their efforts paid off. In 1918, the Representation of the People Act granted some women the right to vote, and in 1928, the Equal Franchise Act extended the franchise to all women over the age of 21. This photograph serves as a reminder of the determination and resilience of the Suffragettes, who refused to be silenced or dismissed, and ultimately succeeded in securing their place in history as trailblazers for women's rights.
