Votes for Women - policeman with a suffragette arrested in Hyde Park about 1912
Votes for Women - policeman with a suffragette arrested in Hyde Park in London about 1912 ie early on in the movement. The suffragette herself seems remarkably calm in the face of the two arresting officers, just sitting in a relaxed fashion. She does not look like one of the aristocracy, more like one of the thousands of ordinary working women who fought to get the vote in the face of political and social hostility

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in the suffragette movement, depicting a scene of political tension and defiance. Taken in Hyde Park, London around 1912, it showcases the arrest of a brave suffragette by two determined policemen. What is striking about this image is the remarkable calmness exhibited by the suffragette herself amidst this confrontation. Seated on folding chairs, she appears composed and relaxed, defying societal expectations and gender norms. Her demeanor suggests that she does not belong to the aristocracy but rather represents one of the countless ordinary working women who fought tirelessly for their right to vote. These women faced immense political and social hostility during this era. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles endured by these courageous individuals who challenged an unjust system. It symbolizes their unwavering determination to secure equal rights for all women. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured by Archive's lens, let us remember those who paved the way for future generations through their relentless pursuit of justice and equality. Their sacrifices should never be forgotten or taken for granted as they continue to inspire us today.
