1. Title: A Militant Suffragette's Holiday Memento: The 1913 Papier Mâché Money Box This photograph showcases a unique and intriguing artifact from the early 20th century - a suffragette money box in the form of a papier mâché pillar box. Dating back to 1913, this collectible item is a testament to the determination and creativity of the suffragette movement during their fight for women's right to vote. The money box, measuring 18cm in height, is adorned with a brown paper label bearing the inscription "Xmas 1913," adding a festive touch to this historical piece. The exterior of the box is designed to resemble a traditional red pillar box, complete with a removable base. When a penny is posted in the letter box, a figure of a militant suffragette pops up. Dressed in a purple gown, symbolizing the suffragette movement's colors, she proudly holds a Votes for Women flag. Her tongue sticks out, and as she emerges, she emits a slight squeak, adding a playful touch to this powerful statement. The suffragette's necklace is adorned with Votes, emphasizing her commitment to the cause. The inside lid of the box bears the inscription "Militant Souvenir," further highlighting the significance of this collectible piece. This remarkable artifact, made in Germany, offers a fascinating glimpse into the suffragette movement and their innovative ways of raising awareness and funds for their cause. It serves as a reminder of the determination, creativity, and resilience of the women who fought for their right to vote, ultimately paving the way for future generations.
