Suffragette Simple Life - Caravanning: A Daring Campaigning Expedition (circa 1910) This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the history of the British suffragette movement, as a suffragette couple's caravan inadvertently lands in a stream, startling a horse and causing damage to their vehicle. Decorated with vibrant ribbons in the suffragette colours of purple, white, and green, the caravan reflects the determination and spirit of the women's rights activists who embarked on campaigning tours from 1908 onwards. The National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) and the Women's Freedom League (WFL) used various tactics to draw attention to their cause, including organizing caravan tours to spread the word throughout the country. This photograph, drawn by renowned artist Ernest Ibbetson, offers a fascinating glimpse into the simple yet effective methods employed by these pioneering women. As the caravan lands in the stream, the frightened horse rears up, causing the vehicle to sustain damage. Despite the setback, the suffragettes' resolve remains unbroken. Their journey continues, as they press on in their quest for women's suffrage, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to the cause and their innovative approach to grassroots activism.
