EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the moment of arrest during a suffragette demonstration outside Buckingham Palace on May 21, 1914. The suffragette, dressed in white and holding a banner, is being led away by a group of police officers. The scene is one of determination and defiance, as the suffragettes continued their fight for women's right to vote in the face of government opposition. The photograph is part of the collection of Nurse Catherine Pine, who cared for Emmeline Pankhurst, the leading figure of the British suffragette movement, on several occasions. The image is clearly dated to 1914, although some sources suggest it may be from 1907. Regardless of the exact date, it is a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of the suffragettes and their unwavering commitment to securing the vote for women. The suffragette movement, which began in the late 19th century, saw women taking to the streets in protest against their exclusion from the political process. They employed various tactics, including peaceful demonstrations, hunger strikes, and arson, to draw attention to their cause. The movement reached its peak in the early 20th century, with the suffragettes staging a series of high-profile demonstrations outside Buckingham Palace and other prominent government buildings. Despite facing arrest, imprisonment, and often brutal treatment at the hands of the police and prison guards, the suffragettes refused to back down. Their efforts ultimately paid off, as women were granted the right to vote in 1918, although it was not until 1928 that they were given the same voting rights as men. This image serves as a testament to their unwavering determination and the important role they played in shaping the political landscape of the 20th century.
