Advice Kindly Mockery Police Men Prison Suffragette Suffragist Wash Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
"This poignant image captures the moment of arrest and detainment of a determined suffragette, a champion for women's right to vote, as she is led away by two policemen in 1909. The suffragette, dressed in a simple blouse and skirt, holds her head high, her expression a mix of defiance and resignation, as she is taken from the scene. In the background, a crowd of onlookers watches with a mixture of awe, mockery, and curiosity. The policemen, stern and unyielding, seem to represent the oppressive forces that sought to suppress the suffragette movement. Yet, even in the face of such adversity, the suffragette remains unbroken, her resolve unwavering. The advice given to her as she is led away - "Go home and wash the kid!" - is a cruel reminder of the societal expectations placed upon women at the time. The implication that her activism is a distraction from her role as a mother is a common theme that suffragettes faced. This powerful photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of the suffragette movement, which fought tirelessly for women's suffrage and paved the way for the progress we have seen in gender equality. The image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave women and the importance of continuing to fight for the rights and freedoms of all people." Mary Evans Picture Library/Mary Evans is a leading independent archive and stock library, offering a vast and diverse collection of historical and contemporary images, including this evocative photograph of a suffragette being taken to prison. This image is a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and anyone interested in exploring the rich history of the suffragette movement and the fight for women's rights.
