EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, Jessie Kennedy, a prominent Suffragette, is seen disguised as a telegraph boy, determined to disrupt a Liberal party meeting at the Albert Hall on May 16, 1909. Dressed in the uniform of the day, Kennedy donned a cap, carried a bundle of telegraph messages, and attempted to gain entry to the venue where Prime Minister H.H. Asquith was speaking. The image captures the moment of Kennedy's discovery by a policeman, who, seemingly suspicious of her shapely hands, her face, and the unusual angle of her cap, apprehended her on the spot. The Sketch magazine reported the incident with satisfaction, noting that a thorough search of the great building had uncovered several other ardent supporters of "Votes for Women" who were also dragged into the light of day. Jessie Kennedy's audacious attempt to infiltrate the Liberal party meeting was part of the militant campaigning tactics employed by the Suffragettes to secure the right to vote for women. Despite the risks involved, Kennedy and her fellow activists remained undeterred, continuing to challenge societal norms and push for women's suffrage. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of their unwavering determination and the significant role they played in shaping the political landscape of the 20th century.
