A Jolly Christmas: The Feline Suffragette's Plea for Women's Right to Vote (circa 1908) This delightful and whimsical Christmas card, featuring a tabby cat in the distinctive style of renowned British artist Louis Wain, carries a powerful message of women's suffrage. The cat, adorned with a feathered hat, a ribbon badge, and a satchel, stands confidently on a barrel. In one paw, it holds a "Vote for Women" scroll, while the other points to a scroll atop the barrel, which reads "And a Happy Time." The suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This card, created around 1908, is a testament to the determination and playful spirit of the suffragettes. The cat's jolly demeanor and festive attire serve to emphasize the joy and hope that suffragettes held for the future, a future in which women's voices would be heard at the ballot box. The use of a cat as a symbol in this card is not without significance. Cats were often associated with the suffragette movement, as they were seen as independent, cunning, and fierce creatures. The suffragettes adopted the nickname "Suffragette Cats" and used the image of a cat in their posters, badges, and other propaganda to convey their message of strength and determination. This charming Christmas card, with its blend of holiday cheer and suffragette spirit, is a captivating reminder of an important chapter in women's history. It invites us to reflect on the struggles and triumphs of the suffragettes and to appreciate the progress that has been made towards gender equality.
