EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Welcome Dinner in Honour of Released Prisoners held by the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) on the 16th of February, 1912. The event was organized to welcome and celebrate the release of several suffragettes who had served their sentences in connection to the Black Friday demonstration that took place in November 1911. Among the released prisoners were notable figures such as Mrs. Leigh, Vera Wentworth, and Olive Wharry. The Black Friday demonstration, a significant turning point in the fight for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom, saw hundreds of suffragettes marching towards Parliament to present a petition to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, David Lloyd George. The peaceful protest was met with violent resistance from the police, resulting in numerous arrests and injuries. The WSPU's Welcome Dinner was an opportunity for these brave women to be recognized and celebrated for their unwavering commitment to the cause. The menu for the event, as seen in this print, features a simple yet elegant spread, including dishes such as "Creamed Mushrooms," "Roast Chicken," and "Plum Pudding." This historical artifact serves as a poignant reminder of the determination and resilience of the suffragettes, who fought tirelessly for women's right to vote and paved the way for future generations to enjoy the political freedoms we have today.
