EDITORS COMMENTS
"In this historic photograph from 1919, we see the determined faces of four trailblazing women who dared to challenge the status quo by running for Parliament in the 1918 General Election. With the recent granting of the vote to women over the age of 30, these intrepid candidates, from left to right, were Mrs Dacre Fox (independent, Richmond), Miss Christabel Pankhurst (Women's Party, Smethwick), Mrs W.C. Anderson, formerly Miss Mary MacArthur (Labour, Stourbridge), and Miss Violet Markham (Liberal, Mansfield, Notts). By the time this issue of "The Sketch" was published, all would know whether they had succeeded in making history as the first women Members of Parliament. Alas, none of them were victorious in their bids for representation. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of these pioneering women, who played a pivotal role in the fight for women's suffrage and electoral reform during the tumultuous period of the First World War." This photograph holds significant historical value as it captures the spirit of the women's suffrage movement and the determination of these candidates during a time of great change. The photograph is a testament to their unwavering commitment to securing the right to vote and to stand for election, which was finally achieved with the passage of the Representation of the People Act 1918. Despite not winning seats in the 1918 General Election, these women paved the way for future generations of women in politics.
