EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the determination and courage of the early suffragettes as they fought for women's right to vote. In the photograph, two burly policemen firmly grasp the wrists of a suffragette, her expression defiant and unwavering, after a demonstration for the cause in 1908. The suffragette movement, which began in the late 19th century, sought to secure the right to vote for women in the United Kingdom. The demonstration depicted in this photograph was just one of many acts of civil disobedience and protest that suffragettes engaged in to bring attention to their cause. The suffragettes faced significant opposition and were often met with violence and arrests. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles endured by these pioneering women in their quest for equality and the right to participate in the democratic process. The year 1908 marked a pivotal moment in the suffragette movement, as it saw the formation of the Women's Social and Political Union, which would go on to become one of the most influential organizations in the fight for women's suffrage. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and perseverance of the suffragettes and their unwavering commitment to securing women's rights.
