EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking and unsympathetic cartoon from 1913, a Suffragette woman is shown being punished in the stocks, her tongue extended in a derisive manner. The caption above her reads "Votes for Women?" The use of the stocks, a medieval form of punishment, is a clear indication of the unsympathetic attitude towards the Suffragette movement and the women who were fighting for the right to vote. The woman's chained hands and defiant expression convey a sense of determination and resistance, despite the humiliation and physical pain she is enduring. The cartoonist's decision to depict her with a tongue extended in a mocking manner adds an extra layer of contempt and misogyny to the image. The year 1913 was a significant one in the Suffragette movement, with numerous protests and demonstrations taking place across the UK. The use of violent tactics, such as window-breaking and arson, had become more common, leading to increased hostility towards the cause and the women involved. This cartoon reflects the prevailing attitude towards the Suffragettes at the time, which was largely unsympathetic and dismissive. The use of the stocks as a form of punishment was intended to humiliate and shame the women, and to discourage others from joining the movement. However, the Suffragettes continued to fight for their cause, and ultimately succeeded in securing the right to vote for women in the UK in 1928. Despite the progress that has been made since then, this cartoon serves as a reminder of the challenges and prejudices that women faced during the Suffragette movement, and the importance of continuing to challenge misogynistic attitudes and behaviors in society today.
