Males Raised Shouts Speaker Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Trousers 1907 Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
Men! What are you? Suffragette Speaker Raises Her Voice against the Government and the Male Establishment, circa 1907. This powerful image captures the intensity and determination of the suffragette movement in the early 20th century. The suffragette, with her arm raised and a fiery look in her eyes, addresses a group of men, challenging their complacency and inaction towards women's suffrage. With the words "Men! What are you?" she questions their role in society and their responsibility to support women's rights. The suffragette's provocative statement "Just animals in trousers" underscores the belief that women were being treated as second-class citizens, and that the time for change was long overdue. Her call to "down with them and down with the Government" reflects the growing frustration and desperation of the suffragette movement, which was fighting for the right to vote and to be recognized as equal citizens. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of the suffragettes, who faced ridicule, harassment, and even violence in their quest for women's suffrage. Their unwavering commitment to the cause ultimately led to the passage of the 19th Amendment in the United States, granting women the right to vote in 1920. Today, we continue to honor their legacy and the sacrifices they made for future generations.
