Suffragettes Ejected from Canford Park, Dorset, 1909: A Pivotal Moment in the Fight for Women's Suffrage This powerful image captures the tense atmosphere at Canford Park in Dorset on August 2, 1909, as suffragettes, led by Annie Kenney, attempted to question Winston S. Churchill about his budget during a Liberal fete. The women's peaceful protest was met with force and brutality as they were spotted by authorities. In the photograph, a suffragette is forcibly escorted away by a policeman, her determined expression a testament to their unwavering commitment to securing women's suffrage. The scene at Canford Park was just one of many instances of suffragettes being met with violence and opposition as they demanded the right to vote. Annie Kenney and her fellow suffragettes had hoped to engage Churchill in a dialogue about their cause, but their peaceful protest was quickly quelled. The incident was widely reported in the press, and the images of the brutal ejections only served to galvanize support for the suffrage movement. For a more detailed account of this pivotal moment in the suffrage movement, refer to E. Sylvia Pankhurst's book "The Suffragette: An Unromantic Heroine," published in 1911. The struggle for women's suffrage continued for several more years, with the Representation of the People Act finally granting some women the right to vote in 1918. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragettes in their fight for equality.
