EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Hissy, a bold and spirited goose, addresses a gathering of her fellow geese at a meeting of the Gooses Social and Political Union, raising the question of whether gender should be an obstacle between them and the right to vote. This intriguing image, reminiscent of the suffragette movement in early 20th century Britain, invites us to reflect on the universality of the struggle for women's rights. Miss Hissy's impassioned plea, "Is a question of gander - I mean gender to stand between us and the vote?" resonates with the calls for equality made by human suffragettes like Christabel Pankhurst and the Women's Social and Political Union (W.S.P.U) during the same era. This thought-provoking photograph, taken circa 1908, offers a unique perspective on the history of the suffrage movement, highlighting the parallels between the experiences of women and geese in their quest for recognition and representation. The image serves as a reminder that the fight for equality transcends species and that progress towards gender equality is a collective endeavor.
