EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time in the heart of London, at the Houses of Parliament, a Man all Tattered and Torn, a Member of Parliament, made a daring attempt to woo a Maiden all Forlorn, a passionate Suffragette campaigner like Lydia Becker. The Man, with a promise to secure Women's Franchise, held out an olive branch, aiming to quell the storm of their long-standing struggle for women's rights. In this illustration by Tom Merry, circa 1880, the Man in Parliament, with a hopeful expression, extends his hand towards the resolute Suffragette, who stands her ground, her determined gaze fixed on the future. The backdrop of the iconic Houses of Parliament serves as a poignant reminder of the political battleground on which this historic courtship unfolds. The scene is reminiscent of the beloved nursery rhyme, 'The House that Jack Built,' as we witness the Man's valiant effort to bring about change, one promise at a time. This evocative image encapsulates the spirit of the suffrage movement, a testament to the unwavering resolve of the Suffragettes and their tireless pursuit of women's suffrage. Tom Merry, a skilled illustrator, masterfully brings this intriguing moment in history to life, offering us a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the progress that has been made in the fight for women's rights.
