EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph features a pair of antique ceramic cats, each standing at approximately 9cm (3.5 inches) in height. Their dark grey bodies are adorned with textured fur coats, adding to their lifelike appearance. A striking feature of these ceramic felines is the ribbons around their necks, symbolizing the women's suffrage movement. The cats' mouths are open in a demand for "Votes for Women," reflecting the strong and unyielding spirit of the suffragettes. The origins of these ceramic cats are believed to be English, but they carry no discernible marks to confirm their provenance. The suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, gained significant momentum during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These cats, with their powerful message, likely served as a symbol of the movement's determination and perseverance. The suffragette movement, which began in the late 1800s, was a pivotal moment in women's history. Women's suffrage was achieved in the United Kingdom in 1928, but the fight for women's rights continued in other parts of the world. These ceramic cats, with their unwavering demand for votes, serve as a reminder of the courage and resilience of the suffragettes and the impact they had on women's rights.
