Chained Chains Demo Demonstration Grille Helen Insert Protest Suffragette Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the determination and courage of suffragette Helen Fox as she poses with her chains following her historic protest at the House of Commons on 28th October, 1908. Fox and her fellow suffragette Muriel Matters made headlines when they chained themselves to the grille of the Ladies Gallery, demanding the right to vote for women. Dressed in Edwardian attire, they defied the authorities and drew attention to the cause of women's suffrage. The demonstration was a bold move, as the House of Commons was a symbol of the male-dominated political establishment. The chains around their waists and necks were a stark reminder of the physical and emotional bonds that kept women from participating in the political process. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and perseverance of the suffragette movement, which would eventually lead to women gaining the right to vote in the UK. The image is a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in women's history and the sacrifices made by brave women like Helen Fox and Muriel Matters.
