EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the determination and courage of Emmeline Pankhurst, a leading figure in the British suffragette movement, as she makes her way to Cannon Row Police Station after assaulting Inspector James Jarviss in 1909. The suffragettes, a group of women's rights activists, were known for their militant tactics in their fight for the right to vote. In this moment, Pankhurst, dressed in her signature purple, white, and green colors, boldly confronts the authorities, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to securing women's suffrage. The incident occurred during a demonstration in London, where Pankhurst and other suffragettes had gathered to demand the release of their imprisoned comrades. When Inspector Jarviss attempted to arrest Pankhurst, she retaliated by slapping him in the face. This act of defiance not only drew attention to their cause but also resulted in her own arrest, along with several other suffragettes. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, is a testament to the courage and resilience of the suffragettes and their unwavering commitment to securing women's rights. The image captures the tension and intensity of the moment, as Pankhurst, surrounded by policemen, stands her ground and asserts her demand for equality. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave women in their quest for political representation and the fundamental human right to vote.
