EDITORS COMMENTS
Women Waiting in St. Stephen's Hall, February 1908: A Suffragette Scare in the House of Commons This evocative image captures a moment in time during the height of the Suffragette movement in the United Kingdom. In February 1908, due to growing concerns over the militant actions of the Suffragettes in the House of Commons, new "stringent" regulations were enforced. No woman was permitted entry into a public lobby without being accompanied by a member of the House, and all women were required to wait in St. Stephen's Hall until a man vouched for their peaceful intentions and escorted them further. The innocuous women in this photograph, dressed in their finest attire, are seen waiting patiently in St. Stephen's Hall, guarded by policemen. The atmosphere is tense, with the shadow of fear looming over the scene. The caption in the Illustrated London News, which accompanied this photograph, lamented the "Suffragette Scare in the House of Commons," remarking on how "the innocent suffer for the sins of their erring sisters." The Suffragettes, who were fighting for women's suffrage and the extension of the franchise to women, had resorted to militant tactics such as protests, window-breaking, and arson to draw attention to their cause. The actions of these militant suffragists had created a climate of fear in the House of Commons, leading to the implementation of these new regulations. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles and sacrifices made by women during the Suffragette movement. It highlights the determination and resilience of the women who continued to fight for their right to vote, despite the challenges and hardships they faced. The image also underscores the importance of peaceful protest and the role it plays in bringing about social change.
