Bravo, N. U. R! Celebrating a Milestone in Women's Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the front cover of Votes for Women magazine from July 2nd, 1915. The etching, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 20th century, showcases a significant moment in history - the decision made by the National Union of Railwaymen (N. U. R) to admit women. The image portrays two figures engaged in a firm handshake; one representing the railway industry and the other symbolizing women's rights. This powerful visual encapsulates the essence of equality and progress. It serves as a testament to the ongoing struggle for gender parity during that era. Votes for Women was known as "The War Paper for Women" emphasizing its role in advocating suffrage amidst World War I. The cover art highlights not only equal opportunities but also fair pay and career prospects for women within public transport industries. This artwork resonates with themes such as politics, campaigning, and female empowerment. It stands as a reminder of how far society has come regarding gender discrimination while acknowledging that there is still work to be done. Displayed proudly within this private collection, this historic piece invites viewers to reflect on past struggles while inspiring continued efforts towards achieving true equality for all genders.
