EDITORS COMMENTS
"This thought-provoking photograph captures a satirical solution to the issue of the Female Agitator during the early 1910s suffrage movement in Britain. The image portrays a woman, dressed as a suffragette, with a large lump of cheese hung around her neck, her hands tied behind her back, and a hungry rodent introduced to her. The suffragette's terrified expression is evident as beads of sweat drip down her face. The Female Agitator was a term used to describe women who actively campaigned for women's suffrage through protests, demonstrations, and civil disobedience. These women were often met with hostility and violence from those opposed to their cause. This photograph, while intended to be humorous, highlights the fear and intimidation that suffragettes faced during this time. The use of a rodent in this scenario is a reference to the common belief that women were weak and easily frightened by small animals. The suffragette's reaction in the photograph reinforces this stereotype, but also underscores the courage and determination of these women in the face of adversity. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the challenges and prejudices that suffragettes faced during their fight for the right to vote. It also serves as a testament to their resilience and the significant impact they had on women's rights and gender equality." Circa 1912. [Mary Evans Picture Library/Alamy Stock Photo]
