Attempts Born Bring Caused Distress Firmly Grip Policeman Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Tattered Torn Umbrella Voters Whilst Wished Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense moment of conflict between a determined suffragette and two policemen during a protest for women's suffrage in the late 1900s. The suffragette, dressed in her distinctive colors and holding a banner, is being forcibly restrained by one policeman, while another tries to subdue her further by bringing an umbrella down on her head. The policeman on the left, with a disheveled appearance and torn uniform, is a stark reminder of the physical violence and resistance that met the suffragettes in their fight for the right to vote. Despite his apparent disdain for their cause, this policeman, along with countless others, was tasked with maintaining order and enforcing laws that denied women this fundamental right. The date of this photograph is estimated to be around 1908, a time when the suffragette movement was gaining momentum and making headlines around the world. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of the suffragettes, who faced immense opposition and adversity in their quest for women's suffrage.
