Attack Kennel Kittens Raid Sleeps Soundly Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Unaware Words Rights

EDITORS COMMENTS
In an unexpected turn of events during the historic Suffragette Raid on the House in 1909, a dog named Rex, oblivious to the political turmoil unfolding outside, peacefully sleeps in his kennel. The serene scene is disrupted by a trio of mischievous kittens, one brandishing a VFW flag, who launch an attack on the unsuspecting canine. This playful image offers a light-hearted contrast to the intense struggle for women's suffrage that was taking place at the time. The Suffragettes, a group of women's rights activists, staged the raid on the House of Commons in London, demanding the right to vote. The audacious act of civil disobedience brought widespread attention to their cause and marked a significant milestone in the fight for women's suffrage. This photograph, taken circa 1909, captures a moment of innocence amidst the tumultuous historical backdrop.
