EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1912 depicts a militant suffragette making an impassioned plea to John Bull, personifying the British people. The suffragette, dressed in ragged clothes and wielding a hammer and a bag of stones, presents herself as a seasoned activist who has proven her worth through acts of civil disobedience. With a determined expression, she declares, "I have smacked policemen, broken windows, assaulted ministers, broken up meetings, done time, shouted myself hoarse" – all in the name of gaining the right to vote. Despite her tenacity, John Bull, depicted as a sturdy, traditional Englishman, remains unimpressed. He firmly rejects her proposal with a simple "No thank you!" The cartoon serves as a powerful visual representation of the suffragettes' militant tactics and the societal resistance they faced in their quest for women's suffrage. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the intense emotions and debates surrounding the suffrage movement during this pivotal period in history.
