The Catch of the Season - Asquith & the Vote, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph capturing a pivotal moment in British history, as Prime Minister Herbert Asquith (1852-1928) is helped aboard a bus by a determined female conductor during the tumultuous year of 1917. Amidst the backdrop of the First World War, this image encapsulates the shifting tides of power and the burgeoning women's suffrage movement. Asquith, a long-standing opponent of women's suffrage, is seen here in an unexpected role, humbly accepting assistance from a working woman. The image is a stark contrast to the political climate of the time, where women's voices were largely silenced and their contributions to society, particularly during the war effort, were often overlooked. The photograph is a testament to the tenacity and resilience of the suffragettes, who, despite facing numerous challenges and adversities, continued their fight for the right to vote. The following year, in 1918, the Electoral Reform Bill was passed in the Commons, granting the vote to certain women: those over the age of 30, who owned their own house or were married to householders. This marked a significant step forward in the struggle for women's representation in politics. The photograph, taken by renowned photojournalist Bernard Partridge, is a powerful reminder of the transformative impact of the war on societal norms and the role of individuals in shaping history. The image of Asquith, a man once opposed to women's suffrage, being helped aboard a bus by a conductor, symbolizes the unexpected alliances that emerged during this period and the eventual triumph of the suffragettes' cause.
