Caption Converts Placard Seeking Stands Stereotypical Stool Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Ugly Vote Voter Wave Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking photograph captures the essence of the suffrage movement in the early 1910s, as depicted through a satirical and stereotypical lens. The image features a stern-faced suffragette, dressed in the traditional militant attire, standing on a rickety stool in an attempt to recruit supporters to the cause. Two young children, seemingly oblivious to the political undertones of the scene, wave a placard bearing the provocative caption, "Blokes for Women." At first glance, it may appear that the suffragette's primary goal is to secure the right to vote for women. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that her true desire is for a "voter" in a more literal sense – a man. The use of the word "blokes" further emphasizes the masculine focus of her quest. This photograph offers a unique perspective on the suffrage movement, shedding light on the societal perceptions and stereotypes that surrounded women's rights activists during this period. Despite the satirical tone, it serves as a reminder of the determination and resilience of the suffragettes in their pursuit of equality and the significant impact they had on shaping the future of women's rights in history. Circa 1910. Stereotypical ugly suffragette stands on a stool seeking converts to the cause, while two children wave placard with caption, Blokes for Women. What she really wants is not a vote but a voter, i.e a man.
