EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an original Suffragette W.S.P.U Ribbon Badge, a powerful symbol of the women's suffrage movement in the early 20th century. The ribbon badge, featuring the iconic colors of purple, white, and green, was issued by the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) and designed to be sewn onto clothing. The middle white section of the ribbon bears the inscription "Votes for Women," boldly asserting the suffragettes' demand for political representation. The WSPU, founded in 1903 by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters, was known for its militant tactics in advocating for women's right to vote. The suffragettes wore these ribbon badges as a visible sign of their commitment to the cause, often facing arrest and persecution for doing so. The badges became a symbol of unity and defiance, inspiring thousands of women to join the fight for suffrage. This photograph offers a glimpse into an important chapter in women's history, highlighting the courage and determination of the suffragettes who fought for their right to be heard and to have a voice in the political arena. Circa 1907, this Suffragette W.S.P.U Ribbon Badge remains a potent reminder of the struggles and triumphs of the women's suffrage movement.
