EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the determination and courage of two prominent Suffragettes, Annie Kenney and Helen Fraser, during their campaign against Liberal candidate George Esslemont at the Aberdeen South by-election in February 1907. The image shows Kenney and Fraser, both dressed in their suffragette colors of purple, white, and green, engaging in a heated debate with Esslemont, who is shown looking visibly uncomfortable. The suffragettes' relentless efforts paid off when the Liberal majority was reduced to under 400, a significant blow to the party at the time. The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), the organization led by Emmeline Pankhurst, claimed credit for the outcome, marking a pivotal moment in the fight for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles of the suffragettes, who paved the way for women's right to vote, which was granted in 1918.
