EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Harry Prosser, we are transported back to the 1980s and introduced to Victoria Gillick, an influential activist and campaigner. The image portrays her at home in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire on a warm summer day, precisely on July 25th, 1983. Victoria Gillick rose to prominence for her fierce advocacy regarding contraception and reproductive rights. Her name became synonymous with the "Gillick competence" a legal principle that granted minors the right to make their own decisions about contraception without parental consent. As a mother herself, she understood the importance of empowering young individuals to take control of their own bodies. The photograph exudes warmth and familiarity as it captures Victoria in her natural environment - her home. It offers us a glimpse into her personal life beyond activism; perhaps revealing moments of respite from tireless campaigning or cherished family memories. Harry Prosser's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both Victoria's determination as an activist and her nurturing role as a mother. This image serves as a testament to the multi-faceted nature of women's lives during this era - balancing responsibilities within both public spheres and private domains. As we reflect upon this powerful snapshot from history, let us acknowledge Victoria Gillick's unwavering dedication towards advancing women's rights while cherishing the significance of family bonds that shape our lives.
