EDITORS COMMENTS
This and intriguing Suffragette Crested Figurine, dated circa 1909, is a two-sided head and shoulders figurine that pays homage to the historic fight for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. The first side features a stern and determined suffragette, adorned with a "Votes for Women" bonnet. Atop her head, the crest of Tettenhall, now part of the West Midlands, proudly stands. The old crone's face, with its ugly and menacing expression, symbolizes the resistance and opposition the suffragettes faced in their quest for the right to vote. Flip the figurine over, and you'll find a complete contrast. The other side reveals a demure and pretty young lady, her hopeful eyes gazing forward, and the words "This one shall have a vote" etched beneath her. This side represents the optimism and determination of the suffragettes, who believed that every woman deserved the right to cast her ballot. The Suffragette Crested Figurine is a fascinating piece of history, showcasing the courage and perseverance of the women who fought for their right to vote. This artifact serves as a reminder of the significant milestones in the women's suffrage movement and the impact it had on shaping the future of democracy.
