EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the fearless Lady Constance Lytton, a prominent British suffragette, during a historic moment in Newcastle on 9 October 1909. In this powerful image, Lady Lytton stands tall on an avenue lined with curious crowds as she prepares to take action for women's rights. On that fateful day, renowned politician David Lloyd George was scheduled to speak in Newcastle and had chosen to stay with Sir Walter Runciman. Fueled by her unwavering dedication to the cause of suffrage, Lady Lytton decided to make her voice heard by targeting Sir Walter's car without causing harm to innocent bystanders. With determination etched across her face, she carefully aims a stone towards the radiator of the vehicle. This symbolic act aimed at damaging property serves as a potent reminder of the lengths these brave activists were willing to go in their fight for equality and democracy. Lady Constance Lytton's actions exemplify the spirit of female empowerment and feminist activism that defined early 20th-century Britain. Her commitment resonates through time as we continue striving for gender equality and human rights today. This remarkable photograph from the Historica Graphica Collection transports us back in time, allowing us a glimpse into an era when courageous women like Lady Constance Lytton paved the way for future generations' progress towards equal rights.
