EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a historic moment in the suffragette movement, as Mary Leigh and Edith New arrive at Queen's Hall in 1908. The image showcases their triumphant return after being released from prison, where they had been imprisoned for their activism. In the photo, the two women can be seen surrounded by a jubilant crowd, who have gathered to welcome them back with open arms. Bouquets of flowers are held high in celebration of their bravery and dedication to the cause. The suffragettes' fight for women's enfranchisement is symbolized by the banner proudly displayed behind them, demanding equal rights and votes for women. Their presence at this welcome home breakfast reception signifies not only their release from imprisonment but also serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for civil rights and gender equality. This powerful image captures both the militancy and determination of these suffragettes, who believed that actions spoke louder than words when it came to achieving change. It stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to securing voting rights for women. Photographed by an English photographer during the early 20th century, this print holds immense historical value as it documents an important chapter in British history - one that paved the way towards greater emancipation and social progress.
