EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Suffragette W.S.P.U. (Women's Social and Political Union) sash from circa 1912. The sash, produced in the colors of purple, white, and green, is a symbol of the women's suffrage movement in the United Kingdom. The heavy woven cotton material boasts a central white panel, bordered top and bottom in purple and green. The bold and striking words, "Votes for Women," are printed in a darker purple, adding to the sash's powerful message. Measuring 64cm long (each side) and 10cm wide, this sash is a slightly later example with a different style of lettering than earlier versions. It fastens with a black metal hook, making it easy to wear and display. The colors and design of the sash represent the determination and perseverance of the Suffragettes in their fight for women's rights and suffrage. The W.S.P.U. was a militant organization that used various tactics, including wearing such symbolic sashes, to draw attention to their cause and pressure the government to grant women the right to vote. This historic artifact is a testament to the courage and resilience of the Suffragettes and their unwavering commitment to securing women's suffrage.
