Dame Equal Fawcett Franchise Garrett Millicent 1928 Assent Miss Rights Strachey
EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Royal Assent to the Equal Franchise Act of 1928. In the image, we see Dame Millicent Fawcett, Miss Fawcett, Miss Garrett, and Mrs Strachey standing proudly next to a sleek motor car. These women were instrumental in the fight for equal voting rights for women in the United Kingdom.
Dame Millicent Fawcett was a leading figure in the suffragist movement and played a key role in securing this historic legislation. Miss Garrett and Mrs Strachey also made significant contributions to the cause, working tirelessly alongside Dame Fawcett to advocate for women's rights.
The passage of the Equal Franchise Act marked a major milestone in the ongoing struggle for gender equality. It granted all women over 21 years old the right to vote on equal terms with men, finally recognizing their full citizenship and political agency.
As we look back on this momentous occasion through this powerful photograph, we are reminded of the courage and determination of these trailblazing women who paved the way for future generations. Their legacy continues to inspire us today as we strive towards greater equality and justice for all.
