EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. E. How-Martyn: A Pioneering Suffragette and Advocate for Women's Freedom This evocative portrait captures the determined gaze of Edith How-Martyn (1875-1954), a prominent figure in the British suffragette movement. Born in England, How-Martyn was originally a member of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) but left in 1907 to help form the Women's Freedom League. Her dedication to women's rights and suffrage was unwavering, and she held various leadership roles in the new organization. Edith How-Martyn's impressive credentials included being an Associate of the Royal College of Science (A.R.C.S) and holding a Bachelor of Science degree (B.Sc). Her commitment to education and scientific knowledge underscored her belief in the intellectual capacity of women to contribute meaningfully to society. As Hon. Sec. of the Women's Freedom League, How-Martyn played a pivotal role in organizing protests, rallies, and demonstrations that brought attention to the cause of women's suffrage. This photograph, taken circa 1909, captures her in her prime, resolute in her pursuit of women's rights and freedom. The suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, was a crucial chapter in the history of women's rights and gender equality. How-Martyn's unwavering dedication to the cause and her leadership in the Women's Freedom League made her an essential figure in this important period of history. This portrait serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragettes who fought for women's rights and paved the way for future generations.
