Body Destruction Hammer Handbag Headress Lilian Olive Pavilion Portrayed Reference Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Tubular Votes Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a courageous Suffragette, boldly portrayed as a hammer with a tubular body, hammer headress, and a Votes for Women handbag. The powerful image is a poignant representation of the unyielding determination and resilience of the women's suffrage movement in the early 1900s. The Suffragette's hammer headress symbolizes the force and strength with which these women fought for their rights, while the Votes for Women handbag underscores their unwavering commitment to securing the franchise. The tubular body of the hammer alludes to the unity and solidarity among the Suffragettes, as they banded together in their quest for change. This evocative image may serve as a reference to a significant event in the history of the women's suffrage movement - the destruction of the Tea Pavilion in Kew Gardens, London, in March 1913. Olive Wharry and Lilian Lenton, two prominent Suffragettes, were responsible for the act of civil disobedience, which drew international attention to their cause. The Suffragettes' actions were part of a larger campaign of militant protests aimed at securing the right to vote for women. Their relentless efforts eventually paid off, as women in the United Kingdom were granted the right to vote in 1918, making this print a testament to a pivotal moment in history. Circa 1913, this powerful and evocative image serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of the Suffragettes and their unwavering commitment to securing women's rights.
