Demonstration Joachim Maud Mounted Sashes Vote Evelina
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of the suffrage movement in early 20th century Britain, as evidenced by the determined expressions of two prominent figures, Mrs Evelina Haversfield and Miss Maud Joachim, in this mounted demonstration. Dressed in their Votes for Women sashes, the women sit confidently atop their horses, exuding a sense of power and resolve. Mrs Haversfield, a prominent suffragist and social reformer, was a key figure in the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an organization known for its militant tactics in the fight for women's suffrage. Miss Joachim, on the other hand, was a talented horsewoman and an active member of the Women's Cycling and Driving Association, which used the mobility and independence offered by horses and bicycles to promote women's rights. The mounted demonstration was a bold and effective tactic used by the suffragettes to draw attention to their cause. By riding through the streets of London in their colorful sashes and carrying banners, they were able to garner public support and generate media coverage. The sight of women on horseback, defying societal norms and demanding the right to vote, was a powerful and provocative image that helped to galvanize the suffrage movement. This photograph, taken circa 1910, is a testament to the courage and determination of the suffragettes, who would not be denied their right to vote. The image of Mrs Haversfield and Miss Joachim on horseback, dressed in their Votes for Women sashes, remains an iconic symbol of the suffrage movement and the struggle for women's rights.
