EDITORS COMMENTS
A Match for Any Man: The Determined Old Maid Suffragette This ceramic figure, titled "A Match for Any Man," represents the unyielding spirit and tenacity of the Old Maid Suffragettes during the early 20th century's suffrage movement. Circa 1910, this 12cm tall figurine is a testament to the resilience and unwavering commitment of these women in their quest for women's right to vote. The Old Maid Suffragette, painted in the colours of the Women's Social and Political Union (W.S.P.U.), wears a "Votes for Women" sash with pride. Her sour expression, however, conveys the frustration and indignation felt by these women as they faced constant opposition from a patriarchal society. A unique feature of this ceramic figure is the number of small holes on the top of her head, designed to accommodate matches. This symbolizes the suffragettes' readiness to take bold and unconventional actions, even if it meant risking their reputation and personal safety. The Old Maid Suffragette stands as a reminder of the sacrifices and struggles endured by these courageous women during their fight for women's suffrage. Her presence serves as a powerful reminder of the progress made and the ongoing importance of advocating for gender equality and women's rights.
