Photographic Print : Women protest at El Vino serving policy
Photo Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
Women protest at El Vino serving policy
Some of the group of fifty women who demanded a drink at El Vino's wine bar in Fleet Street, London, thus protesting against the bar's policy of only serving men at the bar. The bar's justification for their policy was that as the bar frequently became very crowded, it was more chivalrous to exclude women from taking part in the struggle to get served. Instead they were expected to sit in a back room and wait to be served. Many of the women protesters, who formed the Women Against Chivalry Movement especially for the occasion, dressed in traditionally male attire of suit, collar and tie, but this was not enough to get service at the bar. It was over four years later, in November 1982, that Appeal Court Judges ruled in favour of women's right to drink at the bar. Date: June 1978

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photo print, we see a group of fifty women standing outside El Vino's wine bar in Fleet Street, London, demanding to be served. The year is 1978, and the Women Against Chivalry Movement has gathered to protest the bar's policy of only serving men at the bar. Despite their efforts to dress in traditionally male attire and assert their right to equality, they are still denied service and forced to wait in a back room.
The justification given by the bar for this discriminatory policy was that it was more chivalrous to exclude women from the struggle for drinks during crowded times. However, these brave women refused to accept such outdated notions of gender roles and fought for their right to be treated equally.
It wasn't until over four years later, in November 1982, that Appeal Court Judges finally ruled in favor of women's right to drink at the bar. This photo serves as a reminder of the long history of struggles for gender equality and highlights the importance of standing up against discrimination in all its forms. These women were pioneers in challenging societal norms and paving the way for future generations to enjoy equal rights and opportunities.
