EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the fierce determination and unwavering spirit of Flora Drummond (1873-1950), a prominent suffragette and campaigner for women's right to vote. Known as 'General Drummond' within the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), Drummond was a fearless advocate for suffrage and employed militant tactics to bring attention to the cause. In this photograph, taken in 1912 and published in The Sketch magazine, Drummond delivers a passionate speech to a large crowd, her gestures and facial expression conveying a sense of urgency and conviction. Dressed in her WSPU uniform, complete with a sash bearing the organization's colors, Drummond commands the attention of the audience with her powerful oratory skills. The suffrage movement, which sought to secure the right to vote for women, gained momentum throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Drummond and other suffragettes employed various tactics, including peaceful protests, civil disobedience, and even arson, to bring attention to their cause. Despite facing arrests, imprisonment, and physical abuse, Drummond and her fellow suffragettes remained committed to their goal of achieving enfranchisement for women. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and resilience of the suffragette movement and the important role that Flora Drummond played in securing women's right to vote in the United Kingdom. The image is a testament to the enduring impact of the suffrage campaign and the legacy of the women who fought for women's political representation and equality.
