EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of a Suffragette boldly campaigning for a seat in the House, marking a significant milestone in the women's rights movement. Dating back to circa 1928, during the extension of the franchise, this image showcases the determination and courage of women who fought tirelessly for their right to vote and represent themselves in government. Surrounded by a group of men, the Suffragette stands firmly on the hustings, her expression unwavering as she delivers her message. One man in the crowd winks and quips, "I'll vote for a woman any day!" – a testament to the progress being made in the public's perception of women's capabilities. The extension of the franchise in 1928 granted the right to vote to women over the age of 21, a significant victory for the suffrage movement. This photograph encapsulates the struggle and triumph of the Suffragettes, who fought for their rights and paved the way for future generations of women to participate in the political process. The Suffragette's unwavering presence on the hustings symbolizes the power of perseverance and the transformative impact of grassroots activism. This image serves as a reminder of the progress made in women's rights and the ongoing importance of advocating for equality and representation.
