Bold Brick Note Parliament Reads Recording Stands Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Thro Umbrella Verse Vote Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
And this is the Suffragette: A Lady of Note, Whose Courage and Determination Changed the Course of History. In this evocative image, a brave Suffragette, armed with both an umbrella and a brick, stands resolutely outside the Houses of Parliament, circa 1908. The verse that accompanies this powerful photograph reads, "And this is the Suffragette, Who once used a brick for recording her vote." The Suffragette movement, a pivotal moment in the fight for Women's Rights and Suffrage, saw women taking bold actions to demand the right to vote. This photograph captures the spirit of defiance and determination that characterized the Suffragette cause. But, as the verse continues, "But, The bold suffragette THRO' THE WINDOW can't get into THE HOUSE that man built." This poignant line underscores the frustration and disappointment felt by these women, who, despite their bravery and persistence, were still denied entry into the very institutions that governed their lives. The Suffragette's umbrella, a symbol of both protection and resistance, stands in stark contrast to the brick she clutches in her hand. This image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and struggles endured by these brave women in their quest for equality and the right to vote. As we reflect on this historical moment, we are reminded of the importance of perseverance and the power of collective action. This photograph is not only a testament to the courage and determination of the Suffragettes but also a reminder of the progress that has been made and the work that still needs to be done in the ongoing fight for gender equality.
