EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic handbill announces the W.S.P.U (Women's Social and Political Union) Deputation to the House of Commons on June 29, 1909, calling for the Right of Petition in support of women's suffrage. The Bill of Rights is referenced, highlighting the significance of this fundamental right being denied to women. The handbill was issued in the face of continued exclusion from parliament, leading to a bold and defiant action by the Suffragette leader, Emmeline Pankhurst. Upon arrival at the House of Commons, Pankhurst and her fellow suffragettes were refused entry. In a moment of frustration and determination, Pankhurst famously struck Police Inspector Jarvis not once, but twice, on the cheek. This act of civil disobedience resulted in her arrest, along with several other suffragettes, marking a pivotal moment in the suffrage movement's history. The W.S.P.U Deputation Right of Petition handbill is a powerful reminder of the courage and resilience of the suffragettes in their relentless pursuit of women's right to vote. This poignant piece of history serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of those who fought for change and paved the way for future generations to secure their rights and freedoms.
