Breaking Lunt Protest Smashing Suffragettes Vote Votes Wilmot Windows Shows
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration, titled "Glass-Smashing for Votes!", is a powerful depiction of the militant protests led by the suffragette movement in the early 20th century. Created by American illustrator Wilmot Lunt in 1912, the image captures the intensity and determination of these women as they shatter the windows of a government building, demanding the right to vote that was denied to them. The date, December 7, 1912, marks a significant moment in the suffragette campaign, with the 9th such protest taking place in London, England. The suffragettes, a group of women's rights activists, resorted to civil disobedience and various forms of protest to bring attention to their cause. Their actions were met with harsh opposition from the authorities, resulting in numerous arrests and public backlash. However, their unwavering commitment to securing the vote for women eventually paid off, with partial suffrage being granted to some women in the UK in 1918, and full suffrage in 1928. Lunt's illustration is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles endured by the suffragettes during their fight for women's rights. The shattered glass symbolizes the breaking down of barriers and the beginning of a new era for women's political representation. This historical image, with its rich details and powerful message, continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as an important reminder of the progress made and the continuing fight for gender equality.
