Anti Boxes Comment Device Letter Militant Pillar Sabotage Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a piece of history from 1909 - an Anti-Suffrage Device known as the Automatic Suffragette Exterminating Pillar-Box. This device was created as a comment on militant suffragettes who were known to sabotage letter boxes during their fight for women's rights.
The image showcases the intricate design of this historical device, which was meant to deter suffragettes from disrupting postal services by destroying pillar-boxes. The stark contrast between the elegant pillar-box and its ominous purpose serves as a reminder of the lengths that some went to in order to suppress the suffrage movement.
The Anti-Suffrage Device is not just a physical object, but also a symbol of resistance against those fighting for equality and justice. It represents the fear and opposition faced by suffragettes as they fought tirelessly for their right to vote.
Through this powerful image, we are transported back in time to an era where women's rights were fiercely contested. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come in our ongoing struggle for gender equality, while also highlighting the importance of remembering and honoring those who paved the way for future generations.
