EDITORS COMMENTS

This evocative photograph captures the determination and courage of two prominent Suffragettes, Miss Annie Kenny and Miss Mary Gawthorne, during the Hexham by-election of 1907. The women are seen writing on the pavement with chalk, a bold and defiant act of protest against the exclusion of women's suffrage in British politics. Annie Kenny (1869-1953) and Mary Gawthorne (1873-1962) were active members of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), a militant organization that fought for women's right to vote using various tactics, including civil disobedience. The Hexham by-election presented an opportunity for the Suffragettes to draw attention to their cause, as it was taking place in a constituency where many women were eligible to vote due to property ownership. The photograph shows Miss Kenny and Miss Gawthorne in the act of writing "Votes for Women" on the pavement, surrounded by onlookers. Their bold action was met with both support and opposition, as some passersby expressed sympathy for their cause, while others jeered and taunted them. Despite the challenges they faced, the Suffragettes' persistent efforts paid off, as the publicity generated by their protests helped to bring the issue of women's suffrage to the forefront of national discourse. The Representation of the People Act, which granted some women the right to vote, was passed in 1918, and the Equal Franchise Act, which extended the vote to all women over the age of 21, was passed in 1928. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and struggles of the Suffragettes in their fight for women's suffrage, and serves as an inspiration for future generations of activists and advocates for social justice.
