EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the determination and unwavering spirit of the suffragette movement, as women carry the iconic "Suffragette, The House That Man Built" banner during a protest in the late 19th century. The banner, designed by Lawrence Housman for the Kensington branch of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1908, boldly proclaimed the suffragettes' perspective on the issue of women's suffrage. The banner, with its striking design and provocative message, was based on an actual banner used during the suffrage campaign. The phrase "The House that Man Built" was a reference to the belief that women had been excluded from the political process, which was seen as a "house" built by men for men. The suffragettes carried this banner as a symbol of their frustration and their demand for the right to vote, which was then denied to them. The date of this photograph is estimated to be around 1908, a time when the suffragette movement was gaining momentum and making headlines around the world. The banner, with its bold message and striking design, became a symbol of the suffragettes' unwavering commitment to securing the vote for women. This photograph is an important reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragettes, who fought tirelessly for women's rights and paved the way for future generations to enjoy the fundamental right to vote. The banner, with its powerful message, continues to inspire and remind us of the importance of standing up for what we believe in, even in the face of adversity.
