EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the raw emotion and determination of the British Suffragette movement during the pivotal year of 1910. The scene depicted here is known as the Black Friday Deputation, which took place on November 18, 1910. In this moment, Suffragette activist Ada Wright (1862-1939) is being forcibly removed from a London street by a policeman. The photograph poignantly shows Ada being pulled off her feet, with her dress billowing around her as she clings to the railing for dear life. The Black Friday Deputation was a significant event in the suffrage movement's history, as it marked the first time that women had attempted to present a petition to the British government demanding the right to vote. The peaceful protest was met with violent resistance from the police, resulting in over 300 arrests and numerous injuries. Ada Wright was one of the many women who were brutally handled by the authorities that day. This photograph is a stark reminder of the sacrifices and struggles endured by the Suffragettes in their quest for women's suffrage. Ada Wright's courage and resolve are evident in her determined expression, even as she is being forcibly removed from the scene. This image serves as an important historical document, shedding light on a pivotal moment in the fight for women's rights and inspiring future generations to continue the pursuit of gender equality.
