EDITORS COMMENTS
The Modern Shirley: A Defiant Response to Mr. Sympson's Doubt This powerful image, titled "The Modern Shirley," captures the spirit of determination and resilience embodied by the suffragettes during their fight for women's right to vote. In the photograph, a woman, dressed in a Votes for Women sash and holding a flag emblazoned with the words "Political Power," confidently faces Mr. Sympson, represented by the iconic John Bull character. Mr. Sympson, with a quizzical expression, asks, "Are you a young lady?" as if to question her credibility and worthiness of the right to vote. But the woman, named Shirley, stands tall and unwavering, her gaze steady and unyielding. She responds with pride and conviction, "I am a thousand times better - I am an honest woman and as such, I will be treated." The photograph, created by Isobel Pocock at the Suffrage Atelier in 1909, is a testament to the suffragettes' unwavering belief in their cause and their refusal to be dismissed or belittled. The image serves as a reminder of the courage and perseverance of those who fought for women's suffrage, and the progress that has been made since then. The Modern Shirley is a powerful symbol of the suffragettes' unwavering commitment to their cause and their belief in their inherent worth and value as women. It is a reminder of the important strides made towards gender equality and the ongoing work that still needs to be done to ensure that all individuals are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their gender.
