Cell Fool Policeman Prison Sell Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Vows Winks Broadly Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of a Suffragette prisoner as she gazes out of her cell, her expression a mix of defiance and vow. The year is circa 1908, a time when women's suffrage was a contentious issue and those who advocated for women's right to vote were met with harsh opposition. The Suffragette, dressed in the iconic purple, green, and white colors of the movement, sits on her bed, her hands folded in her lap. Through the bars of her cell, she locks eyes with a policeman, who smirks and winks broadly. The policeman's casual demeanor in the face of her unwavering commitment to the cause is a stark reminder of the challenges these women faced. Despite the adversity, the Suffragette maintains her composure, her gaze steady and unyielding. The caption above the photograph reads, "What a sell, I'll never be a fool again he vows," a testament to her unwavering belief in the cause and her commitment to see it through, no matter the cost. This powerful image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Suffragettes in their fight for women's suffrage. It is a moment frozen in time, a snapshot of history that continues to inspire and challenge us today. The photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, is a reminder of the courage and determination of the Suffragettes and the impact they had on the world.
