EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, dating back to circa 1910, depicts a group of fashionable and confident women waving enthusiastically at an early aviator flying overhead. Dressed in the elegant clothing of the Edwardian era, these women, with their strong and determined expressions, exude an air of self-assuredness. The only time they feel compelled to look up from their seats is when a man soars above them in his aeroplane. The image is a beautiful representation of the Women's Suffrage movement during this period in the United Kingdom. The suffragettes, who fought for the right to vote, were known for their unwavering determination and courage. This postcard serves as a visual testament to their progressive attitudes towards women's roles in society and their fascination with the new and exciting world of aviation. The women in the postcard are dressed in stylish outfits, some wearing white handkerchiefs tied around their waists, adding to the overall elegance of the scene. They are seated on chairs, arranged in a semi-circle, displaying their excitement and admiration for the aviator. The early aeroplane, with its rudimentary design, looks small and fragile against the vast blue sky, yet the women's gazes are fixed on it, their opinions clear. This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into history, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of women's rights and the burgeoning aviation industry during the 1910s. It is a reminder of a time when women looked up to men not just for their masculinity, but for their ability to fly above the ordinary, breaking boundaries and pushing the limits of human achievement.
