EDITORS COMMENTS
This two-sided china bell, dating back to circa 1912, is a powerful reminder of the relentless fight for women's suffrage during the early 20th century. The first side of the bell showcases a young woman with long flowing hair and a pearl necklace, gazing intently with a determined expression. Below her image, the crest of Southport and the motto "This lady shall have a vote" are inscribed, symbolizing the hope and aspiration for women's right to vote. Flip the bell over, and the scene changes dramatically. A woman in a bonnet, wearing a stern expression, is depicted with the caption "Votes for Women, I Can Talk Ring the Bell and Be Forcibly Fed As Well." This poignant message highlights the harsh realities that suffragettes faced during their protests, including force-feeding, a brutal and inhumane practice used to deny them the right to hunger strike. The suffragette movement, which began in the late 19th century and gained momentum in the early 20th century, was a pivotal moment in women's history. Women's suffrage, the right to vote, was a fundamental aspect of the feminist movement, which sought to challenge the social and political norms of the time. This beautiful, historical artifact, with its powerful imagery and poignant messages, serves as a testament to the courage and resilience of the suffragettes who fought for the right to be heard and to have a voice in the political process.
