EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of the women's suffrage movement in Britain, circa 1910. The image titled "Suffragettes, The Last Man Driven Out," depicts a determined group of suffragettes, their faces set with resolve and grit, as they chase after a man, forcing him to flee in desperation. The man, dressed in a suit and hat, leaps into a small boat anchored nearby, as the howling mob of suffragettes closes in. The suffragettes' relentless campaign for women's right to vote had reached a fever pitch, with protests, marches, and civil disobedience becoming increasingly militant. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the intensity and passion that fueled their efforts. The men, who had long held a monopoly on political power, were being driven out, making way for women to claim their place in the political arena. The suffragettes' tactics were often met with fierce opposition, and this photograph captures the raw emotion and chaos of one such confrontation. The suffragettes' determination to secure the vote for women was unwavering, and their actions would eventually pay off. Just a few years later, in 1918, some women in the UK were granted the right to vote, and in 1928, all women over the age of 21 were given the same voting rights as men. This historical photograph is a powerful reminder of the courage and perseverance of the suffragettes, who refused to be silenced or sidelined, and ultimately succeeded in changing the course of history.
