EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Suffragette Mens League, a pivotal organization in the fight for women's suffrage in early 20th century Britain. Founded in 1907 by Herbert Jacobs, the league was unique in its composition as it was composed entirely of men. Despite being non-militant and not affiliated to any political party, the league wholeheartedly supported the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) and the Women's Freedom League in their relentless pursuit of the right to vote for women. The exact location of this shop or office of the Suffragette Mens League remains a mystery, but we do know that the organization had branches in Clapham, Manchester, and Birmingham. The photograph shows a group of men, likely members of the league, gathered around a table, deep in conversation. Their determined expressions and serious demeanor speak volumes about their commitment to the cause. The Suffragette Mens League was an essential ally to the suffragette movement, providing crucial support and resources to the women's organizations. Their involvement underscores the importance of male allies in the fight for gender equality, a lesson that remains relevant to this day. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in history, when ordinary people came together to demand change and challenge the status quo. The Suffragette Mens League, and its enigmatic founder Herbert Jacobs, played a vital role in bringing about the historic victory of women's suffrage in Britain in 1918. Circa 1907.
