EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Militant Suffragette's Determined Pursuit for Women's Rights (Caption for Suffragette All for the Cause Hammer, Militant Suffragette with Hammer Concealed under Coat Seeks Plate Glass Window to Destroy, John Hassall, 1912) This powerful image captures the unyielding spirit and militant determination of a suffragette in her pursuit for women's right to vote. The photograph, titled "All for the Cause: Going Shopping," was produced as a companion card to John Hassall's iconic series "Sermons in Stones" and "Give me a Vote," which visually represented the suffragette movement in the early 1900s. The suffragette in the image is depicted wearing a fashionable hat and coat, blending in with the crowd as she walks through a bustling shopping district. However, concealed beneath her coat is a hammer, a symbol of the militant tactics employed by some suffragettes to gain attention and demand change. Her intense gaze is fixed on a plate glass window, her hammer poised and ready to shatter the barrier between her world and the political power held by men. The caption "All for the Cause: Going Shopping" highlights the duality of the suffragette's actions - she is both a consumer, participating in the everyday activities of society, and a revolutionary, willing to disrupt the status quo to achieve her goals. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of the suffragette movement and the sacrifices they made in their relentless pursuit for women's suffrage. John Hassall's compelling visual narrative continues to resonate with audiences today, shedding light on a pivotal moment in history and inspiring generations to stand up for their beliefs and fight for change.
