EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photo print, we are transported back to the year 1907 in London, England. The image captures a significant moment in the fight for women's rights and suffrage. Dora Thewlis, along with 75 other brave suffragettes, had just been arrested following their attempt to storm the Houses of Parliament. The context behind this event lies in the heated debate surrounding the Dickinson Bill. Frustrated by its opponents' attempts to talk it out and delay progress on granting women voting rights, Thewlis and her fellow activists took bold action that ultimately led to their arrest. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, our attention is drawn towards prison vans arriving at Westminster Police Court. These vans would soon transport these convicted suffragettes to Holloway Prison - a place where they would endure hardships but also find strength within their unity. This photograph encapsulates an era marked by civil rights movements and societal change. It showcases not only the determination of these courageous women but also highlights the struggle they faced against law enforcement and established norms. Today, as we reflect upon this powerful image from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of gender equality while acknowledging that there is still work to be done.
