EDITORS COMMENTS
This Suffragette W.S.P.U Christmas card from 1909 is a testament to the unwavering determination and spirit of the suffrage movement in the United Kingdom. The card, produced by the Women's Social and Political Union (W.S.P.U), features an image of a young girl dressed in the uniform of the organization's Drum and Fife Band. The band uniform is adorned with roses, shields bearing the broad arrow and portcullis symbols, all emblems of the suffrage cause. The card's message is clear: "A Merry Christmas and Votes for Women." The inclusion of the Drum and Fife Band, an integral part of the W.S.P.U, symbolizes the militant and persistent nature of the suffragettes' fight for women's right to vote. The roses represent the suffragettes' motto, "Deeds not Words," while the broad arrow and portcullis symbols represent the suffragettes' belief in the power of direct action and their opposition to the restrictive laws of the time. This Christmas card, created in 1909, serves as a poignant reminder of the suffragettes' unyielding commitment to their cause, even during the holiday season. The card's design and message encapsulate the spirit of the suffrage movement and the resilience of the women who fought for their right to vote. This historical artifact is an essential addition to any collection dedicated to women's history and the suffrage movement.
