EDITORS COMMENTS
A Suffragettes Home, After a Hard Day's Work! c. 1917 (litho) captures the poignant aftermath of tireless activism in the fight for women's suffrage. This powerful lithograph by John Hassall depicts an intimate scene within a suffragette's home, revealing the toll taken on her and her family. The room is dimly lit by a solitary lamp, casting shadows that mirror the distress etched across their faces. A young girl sits huddled in a corner, tears streaming down her cheeks, embodying the emotional strain experienced by those who fought for equality. The child symbolizes both vulnerability and resilience as she witnesses her mother's dedication to this noble cause. In contrast to the girl's anguish stands a neglectful father figure, seemingly indifferent to his wife and daughter’s plight. His presence serves as a stark reminder of societal resistance towards women's rights during this era. Published by the National League for Opposing Woman Suffrage as recruitment propaganda, this lithograph aims to dissuade potential supporters from joining forces with suffragettes. However, it inadvertently highlights their unwavering determination and sacrifice. This image encapsulates not only one woman’s struggle but also represents countless others who endured hardships while fighting for gender equality. It serves as an enduring testament to the strength and perseverance of these pioneering suffragettes whose efforts paved the way for future generations.
