When Women Vote - A Historic Moment of Patience and Perseverance
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from circa 1907, entitled "When Women Vote: Sitting up Late," we witness an intimate moment between a devoted husband and his wife, as they wait for her return from a women's suffrage meeting. The image captures the essence of the suffrage movement, a time when women's rights activists fought tirelessly for the right to vote. The scene is set in a cozy, dimly lit living room, where the husband sits anxiously in a chair, his eyes fixed on the clock as the hands creep closer to midnight. His wife, a determined and passionate suffragette, is out on the town, attending a meeting to advocate for women's suffrage. The caption on the print reads, "Mother dear, mother, come home will you now," and "A Boon to fathers!" with an image of Spratts baby biscuits in the bottom corner. The husband's expression conveys a mix of pride and concern, as he knows that his wife's activism is essential for the future of their family and for all women. The suffragette movement was a pivotal moment in history, as women across the world fought for their right to vote and to be recognized as equal citizens. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication required to bring about change. The caption "A Boon to fathers!" highlights the belief that women's suffrage would not only benefit women but also fathers and families as a whole. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the importance of perseverance, patience, and the fight for equality.
