EDITORS COMMENTS
This Christmas card, designed by Hilda Dallas for the Women's Social and Political Union (W.S.P.U) in circa 1912, showcases a powerful and iconic figure of Joan of Arc, embodying the spirit of the suffragette movement. Dressed in armor and a tabard, adorned with the emblem of Justice, Joan holds both a sword and the W.S.P.U flag, symbolizing the determination and courage of the suffragettes in their fight for women's suffrage. The colors purple, white, and green, representing loyalty, purity, and hope, respectively, are prominently featured in the design. The W.S.P.U, led by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters, Christabel and Sylvia, was a militant organization that employed various tactics, including protests, hunger strikes, and arson, to secure the right to vote for women in the United Kingdom. The Suffragette newspaper, edited by Christabel Pankhurst, served as a vital platform for the dissemination of information and advocacy, rallying support for the cause. This Christmas card, promoting The Suffragette newspaper, is a testament to the unwavering commitment and resilience of the suffragettes during a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights. The image of Joan of Arc, a symbol of female strength and leadership, serves as an inspiring reminder of the courage and determination that fueled the suffrage movement, ultimately leading to the Representation of the People Act 1918, which granted some women the right to vote in the UK for the first time.
