Attack Commons Haste Heads Policemen Rush Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Trample Waving 1907 Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the intensity and determination of the British Suffragette movement during the early 1900s, as they boldly attacked the House of Commons in their quest for women's suffrage. The year was circa 1907, a time when women's rights were still not recognized in the political sphere. In this photograph, a group of Suffragettes, their faces determined and resolute, can be seen waving umbrellas above their heads as they trample policemen in their haste to rush the House of Commons. The umbrellas served not only as a symbol of their cause but also as a means of protection against the batons and water cannons wielded by the authorities. The scene is chaotic and tense, with policemen struggling to maintain order amidst the surging crowd of women. This historic moment marked a turning point in the suffrage movement, bringing increased attention to their cause and ultimately leading to the passage of the Representation of the People Act in 1918, which granted some women the right to vote. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and perseverance of the Suffragettes and their significant contribution to the history of women's rights.
