EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of contrast and tension from the early days of the women's suffrage movement in Britain. The image shows a suffragette, dressed in the iconic purple, white, and green colors of the movement, being lifted off her feet and held firmly by a man in a hat. The caption beneath the photograph reads, "She likes this sort of thing, the pet." The male perspective is clear, yet the reason for the man's actions remains ambiguous. Was this an act of support or one of dominance? The suffragette movement, which began in the late 19th century, sought to secure the right to vote for women. The struggle for women's suffrage was a complex and multifaceted one, with tactics ranging from peaceful protests to more militant actions. This photograph, taken around 1908, offers a glimpse into the social and political climate of the time, and the challenges that suffragettes faced in their fight for equality. Despite the male-dominated society of the time, suffragettes remained determined and resilient in their pursuit of the vote. They faced ridicule, harassment, and even violence, but they never wavered in their conviction that women deserved the same political rights as men. This photograph serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragettes, and the progress that has been made in the fight for women's rights since then.
