EDITORS COMMENTS
This sheet music print dates back to circa 1910 and features the lyrics to the popular Suffragette Song titled "Put me upon an Island Where the Girls are Few," written and composed by Will Letters (1877-1910) and performed by Wilkie Bard (1874-1944). The song's humorous and lighthearted tone belies the serious message it conveys about the suffragette movement and the fight for women's rights. The chorus urges the listener to imagine being isolated on an island with few women, suggesting that the presence of suffragettes is undesirable. The lyrics continue with lines about being put among ferocious lions in the zoo or on a treadmill, implying that these are preferable alternatives to encountering suffragettes. The image of a suffragette, a symbol of women's empowerment and the fight for the right to vote, was a controversial and polarizing figure during this time. The song's playful and dismissive attitude towards suffragettes reflects the societal attitudes towards women's suffrage during the early 1900s. The sheet music print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the suffragette movement and the societal attitudes towards women's rights during this time. The print is in excellent condition, with vibrant colors and clear notation, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical sheet music or women's studies.
