EDITORS COMMENTS
This Suffragette N.W.S.P.U Christmas card dates back to circa 1908, a pivotal period in the fight for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. Produced by the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (N.W.S.P.U), the card carries warm holiday wishes for Christmas and the New Year. The card's design is adorned with a beautiful medallion, created by renowned suffragette artist Sylvia Pankhurst. The medallion portrays a fiery sun with the inscription, "Strong souls live like fire-heated suns to spend their strength." This powerful quotation symbolizes the determination and resilience of the suffragette movement, as its members tirelessly campaigned for women's right to vote. The N.W.S.P.U, led by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Christabel and Sylvia, employed various tactics to bring attention to their cause, including peaceful protests, hunger strikes, and even arson. The suffragettes' unwavering commitment to their cause earned them both admiration and criticism, making this Christmas card a significant historical artifact. The card's design is a testament to the suffragettes' spirit and their unyielding dedication to securing women's suffrage. This beautiful piece of history serves as a reminder of the courage and determination displayed by these trailblazing women, who ultimately succeeded in gaining the right to vote for women over a century ago. This Suffragette N.W.S.P.U Christmas card is an essential addition to any collection of women's history, suffrage memorabilia, or vintage Christmas cards.
