EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs Norah Dacre Fox, General Secretary of the Women's Social and Political Union, passionately addresses a crowd in Trafalgar Square, London on Friday 9th July 1915. In this powerful moment captured by Daily Mirror for Memory Lane Prints, Mrs Dacre Fox urges men to join the army and women to contribute their skills towards munitions production in support of the War Effort. As an influential figure within the suffragette movement, Mrs Norah Dacre Fox not only fought tirelessly for women's rights but also played a crucial role in organizing a war service procession through London scheduled for Saturday 17th July. This event aimed to demonstrate solidarity with the ongoing conflict while highlighting the vital contributions women could make during these challenging times. During this period of history marked by World War I, campaigns like those led by Mrs Dacre Fox and her fellow suffragettes were instrumental in shifting societal norms and perceptions about gender roles. The Women's Social and Political Union had made a significant decision to suspend their militant activities temporarily so they could actively assist with war efforts instead. This historic photograph serves as a reminder of the determination and resilience exhibited by women during World War I – their unwavering commitment to both securing equal rights and supporting their nation during times of crisis.
