Selina Cooper (1864-1946): A Pioneering Suffragette and Labour Activist from the North of England This portrait captures the determined gaze and unwavering resolve of Selina Cooper, a trailblazing suffragette and labour activist from the North of England. Born in 1864, Cooper was a key figure in the Lancashire & Cheshire Women Textile & Other Workers Representation Committee, an organization dedicated to advocating for the rights of women workers in the textile industry. Cooper's commitment to social justice began in earnest during the late 19th century, and she joined the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) in 1907. This photograph, believed to have been taken around 1909, captures Cooper at the height of her activism. Cooper's dedication to the suffrage cause was fueled by her belief in the importance of women's economic and political independence. As a labour activist, she recognized that women's lack of voting rights hindered their ability to advocate for better working conditions and wages. Through her work with the Lancashire & Cheshire Women Textile & Other Workers Representation Committee, Cooper played a crucial role in organizing strikes and protests, and she spoke out against the injustices faced by women workers in the textile industry. Her tireless advocacy helped bring attention to the plight of working women and paved the way for future generations of feminist activists. This powerful portrait serves as a reminder of Cooper's significant contributions to the suffrage and labour movements in the North of England during a pivotal moment in history. Her unwavering commitment to social justice and gender equality continues to inspire us today.
