Asks Drunken Escorted Knowing Roughly Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking image captures a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights as a drunken man is forcibly escorted to the police station by officers, inquiring, "Can't you put us in with the Suffery Gettes?" The year is circa 1909, a time when the suffragette movement was gaining significant momentum in the United Kingdom. The Suffragettes, led by the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), were fighting for the right to vote and to have their voices heard in the political arena. The man in the photograph, seemingly intoxicated, appears to be making a lighthearted request to be imprisoned alongside the suffragettes. At the time, the WSPU employed a strategy of civil disobedience, which often involved peaceful protests and deliberate arrests. Prison conditions were harsh, and suffragettes endured force-feeding and other forms of mistreatment. The man's question, while seemingly insensitive, highlights the public's growing awareness and engagement with the suffragette cause. The suffragettes' determination and resilience in the face of adversity inspired sympathy and support from various sectors of society, including men. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the suffragettes in their quest for women's suffrage and the impact they had on changing societal attitudes towards gender equality.
