EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of the women's suffrage movement in the United Kingdom. Taken in 1912, the image shows a group of determined Suffragettes, dressed in their distinctive colors of purple, green, and white, gathered outside a courthouse, eagerly awaiting the start of the trial of Emmeline Pankhurst. Emmeline Pankhurst, a leading figure in the women's suffrage movement, was a tireless advocate for women's right to vote. She and her followers, the Suffragettes, employed a variety of tactics to draw attention to their cause, including peaceful protests, hunger strikes, and property damage. Their actions often led to arrests and trials, as seen in this photograph. The women in the image are shown huddled together, their faces expressing a range of emotions from hopeful anticipation to determined resolve. Some hold banners and signs, while others chat amongst themselves or gaze intently at the courthouse entrance. The atmosphere is tense, yet there is a sense of solidarity and unity amongst the group. This photograph is part of the Papers of Molly de Morgan, a collection held at Mary Evans Prints Online. Molly de Morgan was a British painter and illustrator who documented the suffrage movement extensively, capturing the passion and dedication of the Suffragettes in her artwork. This image provides a valuable glimpse into a pivotal moment in the fight for women's suffrage and serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of those who came before us in the struggle for gender equality.
