EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights as members of the Kensington branch of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) set up a stall at the Dress Exhibition held at Earls Court, London, in January 1908. The suffragettes, dressed in their distinctive colors of purple, white, and green, are seen busily engaging with visitors to the exhibition, their faces expressing determination and resolve. The stall is laden with suffrage literature and postcards, a testament to the tireless efforts of these women in advocating for women's suffrage. At the front of the stall, a banner boldly reads, "We Demand the Vote this Session." The date, 1908, is inscribed below, marking a significant year in the suffragette movement as it was the year when the Women's Social and Political Union was formed. The suffragettes' presence at the exhibition was a strategic move to raise awareness and garner support for their cause among the public. Their unwavering commitment to securing the right to vote for women was a defining feature of the suffragette movement, which would eventually lead to women's suffrage being granted in the UK in 1918. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragettes and their pivotal role in the fight for women's rights.
