EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when the suffragettes, disguised as peaceful and bored onlookers, were actually the fearless "commandos" of women's suffrage. Taken at the House of Commons in 1910, this image showcases a medium-sized group of people from various age ranges, adorned in furs and hats that were fashionable during that era. Amongst them are policemen who stand witness to this powerful protest. The umbrellas they carry serve as both shields against any opposition and symbols of unity among these brave women fighting for their rights. Their uniforms may seem inconspicuous but hold great significance as they represent the solidarity shared by these determined individuals. As this historic battle unfolded within the walls of Parliament, it sparked a wave of change across Britain. From this pivotal moment emerged numerous other women's organizations that joined forces with the suffragettes, propelling emancipation forward. On 19th November 1910, their tireless efforts culminated in an almost complete victory for women's rights. This remarkable photograph not only serves as a reminder of how far we have come but also pays homage to those who fearlessly fought for gender equality during one of history's most transformative periods. Preserved by NCJ - Kemsley and now available through Memory Lane Prints, this image transports us back to an era where determination prevailed over adversity and paved the way for future generations.
