EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Suffragette movement during a demonstration in Hyde Park on 14th July 1912. The date of the event was significant as it coincided with Bastille Day, adding an extra layer of symbolism to the fight for women's rights. George Lansbury, Member of Parliament (MP), can be seen addressing the crowd from the Women's Social and Political Union (W.S.P.U) platform. The W.S.P.U flag, topped with the scarlet cap of liberty, is prominently displayed, symbolizing the militant and determined nature of the suffragettes. The pole, adorned with the cap, is a powerful visual representation of the suffragettes' unwavering commitment to securing the vote for women. The rally drew a large crowd, reflecting the growing momentum of the suffrage movement and the increasing public support for women's rights. This photograph is an important historical document, providing a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the fight for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom.
