EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Mabel Russell, the Heroine of London Pride, and her fiancé, Lieutenant Hilton Philipson (Scots Guards), captured in this timeless photograph on 1 June 1917. Miss Russell made history as the third female member to serve in the House of Commons after women gained legal rights to do so in 1918. Representing Berwick-upon-Tweed, she shattered gender barriers with her unwavering determination and commitment to public service. In this image, Miss Russell exudes grace and strength alongside her dashing partner. The monochrome tones add a touch of nostalgia, transporting us back to the vibrant era of the early twentieth century. Their love story unfolds before our eyes as they stand side by side, ready to face any challenge that comes their way. The print is a remarkable piece from Europeana Photography collection that showcases not only an iconic couple but also represents an entire generation marked by change and progress. It captures the essence of the roaring twenties when societal norms were being challenged and new possibilities emerged. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of Miss Mabel Russell's pioneering spirit and how she paved the way for future generations of women leaders. Her legacy lives on through this powerful image that serves as a testament to courage, resilience, and breaking down barriers.
