EDITORS COMMENTS
Emily's Determination: A Young Suffragette's Dream of Becoming a Prison Warder This photograph print depicts a young girl named Emily, deep in thought as she responds to a curious boy's question about her future aspirations. With a determined look in her eyes, Emily proudly declares that she intends to follow in the footsteps of Miss Gawthorpe and become a prison warder. This bold declaration, made circa 1909, reflects the groundbreaking spirit of the suffragette movement and the increasing role of women in challenging societal norms. Miss Gawthorpe, a prominent figure in the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in Manchester, dedicated herself to organizing meetings for the cause of women's suffrage between 1908 and 1910. Emily's choice of role model speaks to the growing influence of the suffragette movement and the expanding opportunities for women in various fields. This photograph card, likely produced for the Women's Exhibition held at the Princes Skating Rink, captures the essence of a young girl's dreams and the transformative power of the suffragette movement. Emily's determination and courage serve as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the suffragettes and their unwavering commitment to securing women's rights and suffrage.
