EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an original Suffragette Card Game titled "Panko: The Great Suffragette Card Game - Suffragists versus Anti-Suffragists," published circa 1909. The game, illustrated by renowned cartoonist E.T. Reed from Punch Magazine, was a unique and engaging way for individuals to engage with the ongoing debate surrounding women's suffrage. The game was divided into two distinct camps, with the Pro-suffragists represented by the suits of purple and green, and the Anti-suffragists by red and black. The Suffragist suits included Toot, Toot, Toot (representing the persistent calls for women's rights), Pank, Pank, Pank (symbolizing the determined actions of suffragettes like Emmeline Pankhurst), Law, Law, Law (representing the legal battles fought by Christabel Pankhurst), and Votes for Women. On the other hand, the Anti-suffragist suits were Help, Help, Help (depicting the pleas for women to remain in their traditional roles), Turn em out (representing the forceful removal of suffragettes from public protests), Fourteen Days (symbolizing the lengthy sentences passed by judges), and Gaol, Gaol, Gaol (representing the imprisonment of suffragettes who refused food as a form of protest). The existence of this game was mentioned in the Votes for Women newspaper in December 1909, and it was published by Peter Gurney Ltd. at 2 Breams Buildings, London, E.C. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and political climate of the time, as the fight for women's suffrage continued to dominate headlines and public discourse.
