EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Suffragette movement in early 20th century Britain, as depicted in this publicity advertising image for BOVRIL. The scene unfolds at the tram terminus in Brislington, South East of Bristol, circa 1910. A large, eye-catching placard on the right side of the image reads, "Vote for Women who buy BOVRIL." BOVRIL was a popular brand name for a savory meat extract, sold in distinctive bulbous glass jars. The Suffragettes, a group of women's rights activists, were at the forefront of the fight for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. They employed various tactics to raise awareness and gain support for their cause, including public demonstrations, protests, and strategic use of media and advertising. This image showcases their innovative approach to spreading the message, by tying the suffrage movement to a well-known consumer product. The image's historical significance lies in its depiction of the intersection of women's rights activism and consumer culture during a pivotal moment in history. The Suffragettes' determination and ingenuity in using advertising to further their cause demonstrates their resourcefulness and the power of public messaging in shaping societal attitudes and driving change. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the tactics and tenacity of the Suffragette movement and their quest for women's suffrage.
