EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in the suffragette movement in Britain during the early 1910s. The image portrays a courageous suffragette being arrested for her unwavering dedication to securing women's right to vote. As part of their campaign, these brave women resorted to various forms of protest, direct action, and civil disobedience. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the long and arduous struggle faced by suffragettes in their fight for equality. It symbolizes the defiance and determination exhibited by these activists who were willing to risk arrest and endure hardships for their cause. It was not until 1918 that partial suffrage was achieved, granting some women the right to vote. However, it took another ten years before all women finally gained this fundamental democratic right in 1928. The monochrome composition adds an air of historic significance to this image, emphasizing its timeless relevance. The arresting officer represents law enforcement standing against those demanding change, highlighting the clash between tradition and progress. This photograph is part of King Emperors Jubilee from 1910-1935 collection by FGH Salusbury. Through this print collector's lens, we are transported back in time to witness a defining moment in history when courageous individuals fought tirelessly for gender equality through activism and protest.
