EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a vintage Suffragette W.S.P.U Joan of Arc Brooch, a symbol of women's rights and suffrage movement history. The brooch, based on an image designed by Hilda Dallas for a suffragette poster advertising The Suffragette newspaper, was edited by Christabel Pankhurst from her exile in Paris during 1912. The intricately designed brooch features the figure of Joan of Arc in silver armor atop a purple stand, with a green banner bearing the letters W.S.P.U in bold white letters. The green and purple elements are enamelled, adding to the brooch's vibrant and eye-catching appearance. Joan of Arc, the patron saint of the suffragettes, was an inspiring figure for the women's rights movement. Her courage and determination in leading the French army to victory during the Hundred Years' War resonated with the suffragettes as they fought for their own rights and freedoms. The use of Joan of Arc as a symbol in suffragette propaganda was a powerful way to rally support and inspire action. The Suffragette newspaper, edited by Christabel Pankhurst from Paris, was a crucial platform for spreading awareness and organizing protests and demonstrations in the fight for women's suffrage. The brooch, with its striking design and historical significance, serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragettes and the pivotal role they played in securing women's right to vote.
