Women's Coronation Procession 1911: A Historic Moment in the Fight for Suffrage This photograph captures a significant moment in the Women's Suffrage movement during the coronation of King George V in 1911. The centre pages of the official programme showcase the Women's Coronation Procession, an event that marked a pivotal turning point in the fight for women's rights to vote. The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), led by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Christabel and Sylvia, played a prominent role in organizing this historic procession. Thousands of suffragettes, dressed in their purple, white, and green colours, marched through the streets of London, demanding the right to vote. The Women's Coronation Procession was a symbol of defiance and determination, as suffragettes had been engaging in militant protests for years, including window-breaking and arson, to bring attention to their cause. The procession was a peaceful demonstration, showcasing the growing support for women's suffrage and their determination to secure the vote. The photograph captures the spirit of the day, with suffragettes carrying banners and flags, and the crowds lining the streets to show their support. The procession ended at Hyde Park, where a mass meeting was held, further amplifying the suffragettes' message and their call for the right to vote. This photograph is an essential piece of history, capturing a pivotal moment in the Women's Suffrage movement. The Women's Coronation Procession of 1911 was a powerful display of unity and determination, paving the way for the eventual passage of the Representation of the People Act in 1918, which granted some women the right to vote for the first time in British history.
