EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, dated 1911, depicts a determined suffragette, Lady Sybil de Vere Capell (1858-1934), also known as Lady de Vere, engaging in an innovative fundraising strategy for the Women's Suffrage movement. In this intriguing image from the past, Lady de Vere, dressed in her elegant attire, is approached by an out-of-work hawker, who inquires, "Ows your business, who?" The hawker's question is a playful reference to the fact that Lady de Vere is not selling goods but instead is selling the cause of women's suffrage. The suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, gained significant momentum during this period. Women's suffrage activists employed various tactics to raise awareness and funds for their cause. This cartoon illustrates the resourcefulness and determination of the suffragettes, who were not deterred by societal norms or economic challenges. Lady de Vere, a prominent figure in the suffrage movement, was known for her activism and her ability to rally support from influential women and men. Her involvement in this creative fundraising effort underscores the innovative and tenacious spirit of the suffragettes, who refused to be silenced or sidelined in their quest for women's suffrage. This cartoon is a testament to the resilience and determination of the suffragettes during a pivotal moment in women's history. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and innovations that paved the way for women's suffrage and the progress we have made towards gender equality.
