EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an original suffragette newspaper placard from 1913, advertising the W.S.P.U's (Women's Social and Political Union) paper, The Suffragette. The issue in question is number 47, dated September 5, and bears the bold banner headline, "ASQUITH AT BAY." The placard's design is adorned with the emblem of St. Joan of Arc in a shield, proudly displayed in the W.S.P.U's colors of purple, white, and green. The Suffragette, edited by Christabel Pankhurst, was a powerful tool for the suffragette movement, advocating for women's right to vote and challenging the political establishment. The "Asquith at Bay" headline refers to H.H. Asquith, the British Prime Minister at the time, who was under intense pressure from the suffragettes to address their demands for women's suffrage. This placard, with its striking imagery and bold messaging, is a testament to the determination and courage of the suffragettes in their fight for women's rights. The emblem of St. Joan of Arc, a symbol of courage and leadership, further underscores the strength and conviction of the suffragette movement. This historical artifact offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of women's suffrage in the United Kingdom.
