The suffrage debate: two extreme portraits
The anti-suffragette as seen by the suffragette, and the suffragette as seen by the anti-suffragette: a coy and slightly demonic looking young woman in evening wear simpers at the viewer, and is shown sitting at home knitting socks for her man. A wild looking suffragette bears her teeth ferociously, and is shown looking glum, chained to a wall in a grafittied prison cell

November 1909: A Tale of Two Extremes - The Suffrage Debate This intriguing photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a compelling glimpse into the heated suffrage debate of 1909, as seen through the eyes of both the suffragettes and their opponents. The contrasting portraits present two starkly different representations of the women at the heart of the movement. On the left, an anti-suffragette's perspective is depicted through the coy and slightly demonic visage of a young woman in evening wear. With a simpering smile and a demure posture, she sits at home, knitting socks for her man. Her domestic bliss, however, belies the wild, militant spirit of the suffragettes. The anti-suffragettes viewed these women as rebellious, even demonic, for daring to challenge the social norms of their time. On the right, the suffragette's perspective is conveyed by a wild-looking woman, her teeth bared in a ferocious snarl. She is shown looking glum, chained to a grafittied prison cell wall. The suffragettes, on the other hand, saw themselves as courageous, determined women, willing to endure hardships and even imprisonment to secure their right to vote. This powerful image, with its stark contrasts, serves as a poignant reminder of the intense emotions and deep-rooted beliefs that fueled the suffrage movement, as women fought for their place in history. The suffragettes' unwavering resolve eventually paid off, as they secured the right to vote for women in the United Kingdom in 1918. This photograph print, with its historical significance, is a must-have for any collection focusing on women's rights, social history, or the suffrage movement.
