Suffragette, An Easter Prophecy
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking image that brilliantly encapsulates the spirit of the women's suffrage movement during the early 1900s. The photograph features a determined suffragette hen, proudly carrying a "Votes for Women" placard, as she tenderly cradles a chick in one wing and a small rabbit in the other. Surrounding her are a collection of colorful Easter eggs. The rhyme inscribed at the bottom of the print reads, "When hens all join the suffrage ranks, The Bunnies Little Easter Pranks will have to keep up every day - Or else who will the fresh eggs Lay?" This image is a clever and whimsical representation of the suffragettes' fight for women's right to vote, using the metaphor of hens and Easter eggs to convey the idea that women, like hens, have the power to lay the "fresh eggs" of change and progress. The inclusion of the rabbit, a traditional symbol of Easter, adds an element of playfulness and irony, as the suffragettes' cause was anything but a game. The photograph, which dates back to circa 1908, is a historical treasure that offers a unique perspective on the suffrage movement and the role that women played in shaping the world around them. The image is a powerful reminder of the determination, creativity, and resilience of the suffragettes, who refused to let traditional roles and expectations define their place in society. The "Suffragette, An Easter Prophecy" print is a must-have for any collection of women's history, suffrage memorabilia, or vintage Easter decor. Its timeless message of empowerment and progress continues to resonate with audiences today, making it a cherished piece of history and a symbol of hope for future generations.
