A Tip to John Bull: Five Unyielding Suffragettes Stand Their Ground (April 9, 1913) This evocative illustration, published in Puck magazine in 1913, depicts a group of five determined women suffragettes standing defiantly on a tiny island, symbolically asserting their right to vote. Dressed in Napoleonic hats and great coats, they face the mighty figure of John Bull, the personification of England, who stands on the mainland, seemingly unswayed by their presence. The women's unwavering resolve is palpable, as they refuse to be intimidated by the towering figure before them. The cartoon, titled "A Tip to John Bull," was created during a pivotal moment in the women's suffrage movement in the United Kingdom. The year 1913 marked the beginning of the militant phase of the suffrage campaign, during which activists resorted to more radical tactics, such as arson and window-breaking, to draw attention to their cause. This illustration captures the spirit of defiance and determination that characterized the suffragettes during this period. The image is a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of the women who fought for their right to vote, and the significant impact they had on shaping the political landscape of the modern world. The suffragettes' unwavering commitment to their cause ultimately led to the Representation of the People Act 1918, which granted some women the right to vote for the first time in British history.
