Behind Bude Concertina Newspaper Placard Reads Stands Stereotypical Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Votes Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Suffragette Votes for Women Views," transports us back in time to the early 1910s and the height of the women's suffrage movement in Britain. The image features a stereotypical suffragette, dressed in the iconic purple, white, and green colors of the movement, standing resolutely behind a Victorian War Fund (VFW) newspaper placard. The placard, which reads "Our Views at Bude," contains a concertina of photo views of the picturesque coastal town of Bude, Cornwall. The suffragette's determined expression and clenched fist convey her unwavering commitment to securing the right to vote for women. The VFW placard, with its seemingly innocuous title, serves as a clever ruse to draw attention to the suffragette cause. The suffragettes often used various tactics, including peaceful protests and provocative publicity stunts, to bring attention to their cause and put pressure on the government to grant women the right to vote. The photograph's inclusion of the Bude views adds an intriguing layer to the image. It could be that the suffragette is using the placard as a means to distribute information about the town and its attractions to potential tourists. Alternatively, it could be a subtle nod to the suffragettes' connection to the town, as Bude was home to several prominent suffragettes, including Emily Wilding Davison and Emily Pankhurst. Regardless of the exact meaning behind the image, it serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragettes in their fight for women's suffrage. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into history and a testament to the enduring power of visual storytelling.
