Suffragette Nice Present of Moustache: A Playful Depiction of the Suffrage Movement (Circa 1909) This intriguing photograph captures a moment in the history of the women's suffrage movement, as a dedicated suffragette, dressed in the typical severe hairstyle and spectacles, eagerly receives a 'nice present.' The image, which dates back to circa 1909, presents an unexpected twist: a black moustache, crafted from either silk or real hair, has been artfully placed on her face. The caption suggests that this seemingly unusual gift is exactly what she wants to 'perfect her' appearance. This humorous depiction challenges the stereotypical notion of what a 'good' suffragette should look like, as moustaches were often associated with masculinity and were not typically considered feminine. The suffrage movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, was a significant period in the history of women's rights. The suffragettes, who were active in this movement, fought tirelessly for their cause, often facing ridicule, harassment, and even imprisonment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the playful and subversive ways in which the suffragettes challenged societal norms and expectations. Despite the lightheartedness of this image, it serves as a powerful reminder of the determination, courage, and resilience of the suffragettes and their unwavering commitment to securing women's suffrage. This photograph is an intriguing and thought-provoking addition to the historical record of the suffrage movement.
