Behind Cockerel Colours Luggage Proclaiming Rooster Stay Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Tickle Vive Word Wspu Chanticleer Rights

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of the Suffragette movement in early 1910s Britain. The image depicts a mother-in-law, dressed in an unusual and bold outfit, making her way into a home carrying her luggage. The outfit, reminiscent of a cockerel or rooster suit, was a playful yet powerful statement in support of women's suffrage. The Suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, was a significant force in British politics during this period. The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), one of the most prominent Suffragette organizations, adopted the colors green, white, and purple in their campaigns, symbolizing hope, purity, and dignity, respectively. The mother-in-law's arrival is marked by the presence of a flag bearing the WSPU colors and the rallying cry "Vive La Suffragette," which translates to "Long Live the Suffragettes" in French. This flag, proudly displayed behind her, underscores her commitment to the cause. This photograph is part of the Sha n t tickle er series, a clever play on words that references the term "chanticleer," a rooster that crows. The use of this term adds an element of wit and humor to the image, making it even more intriguing. The Suffragette movement brought about significant changes in women's rights, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the women who fought for the right to vote. The mother-in-law's bold and unapologetic display of her Suffragette support is a testament to the power of collective action and the enduring impact of the movement on history.
