Suffragette Shouts - Give me a Vote
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and provocative image from the early 20th century, showcasing the intense passion and determination of the British suffragette movement. This postcard, designed by renowned graphic artist John Hassall for the National League for Opposing Women's Suffrage, presents a stark contrast to the suffragettes' calls for equality and the right to vote. The anti-suffrage view depicted in this postcard is represented by a flag-waving, screaming harridan, a stereotypical portrayal intended to undermine the suffragettes' cause. The woman's exaggerated features and wild expression are designed to evoke fear and ridicule, emphasizing the belief that women's suffrage would lead to chaos and disorder. Maud Arncliffe-Sennett, a leading suffragette, boldly signed this particular print with her name and the comment, "The Anti-Suffrage Vision!" This inscription adds an intriguing layer to the image, suggesting that the suffragettes were not only aware of their opponents' negative perceptions but also used them as fuel for their activism. Dating back to circa 1912, this postcard offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex and often contentious debates surrounding women's suffrage during this period. As we reflect on the history of this pivotal moment in women's rights, it is essential to remember the passionate and sometimes polarized discourse that shaped the suffragettes' fight for equality. This postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the intense emotions and deeply held beliefs that marked the suffragette movement, ultimately leading to the achievement of women's suffrage in the United Kingdom in 1918.
