EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image showcases a Suffragette W.S.P.U Hammer Brooch, a symbol of the courage and determination of the women's suffrage movement in early 20th century Britain. The hammer-shaped brooch, inscribed on the head with the year "March 1912," was presented to members of the Women's Social and Political Union (W.S.P.U) who had participated in the campaign of window breaking and property damage in central London during that month. The campaign, led by Emmeline Pankhurst, Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence, and Frederick Pethick-Lawrence, aimed to draw attention to the cause of women's suffrage through acts of civil disobedience. The window-smashing incidents led to a raid on the W.S.P.U offices, resulting in the subsequent trial of the leaders for conspiracy. The silver hammer brooch, a potent symbol of resistance, served as a badge of honor for the suffragettes who had taken part in the daring acts of civil disobedience. The brooch's shape, reminiscent of a tool used for breaking windows, served as a powerful reminder of the women's unwavering commitment to securing their right to vote. This photograph, taken in 1912, captures a pivotal moment in the history of the women's suffrage movement in Britain. The hammer brooch stands as a testament to the women's resilience and their unyielding fight for equality and the right to participate in the democratic process.
