A Fare Comment - Suffragette's Determined Battle for the Right to Vote on a Holloway Bus, London, 1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative historical photograph by Charles Crombie, a determined suffragette confronts a bus conductor at Holloway bus stop in London, 1908. The suffragette, holding a placard that reads "Votes for Women," demands to know the fare as she steps onto the bus, only to be met with a sarcastic response from the conductor. "Same as you had before, miss—bread and water!" he retorts, referencing the hunger strikes and force-feedings that many suffragettes had endured as part of their campaign for women's suffrage. The image captures the tense and confrontational atmosphere of the suffrage movement, which saw women taking to the streets and public transport to demand the right to vote. The suffragettes, dressed in their distinctive colors of purple, green, and white, were a familiar sight on the streets of London and other cities, using various tactics to draw attention to their cause. The bus, with its deck adorned with advertising, serves as a reminder of the era's transportation methods and the ordinary settings in which the suffragette's battles for women's rights unfolded. The passengers in the background, some looking on with curiosity or disapproval, add to the sense of drama and historical significance. This powerful photograph, now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a poignant glimpse into the past and the courageous women who fought for the right to vote. It serves as a reminder of the importance of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity and the enduring impact of grassroots activism.
