EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Holloway Brooch, a historic emblem of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) Suffragette movement. Designed by the remarkable Sylvia Pankhurst in 1909, this brooch was a symbol of bravery and resilience, presented to WSPU prisoners upon their release from Holloway Prison. The intricately designed brooch features the Portcullis symbol of the House of Commons, encircled by chains and broad arrows, all in the suffragette colors of purple, white, and green. Known as the "Victoria Cross of the Union," the Holloway Brooch was the first of its kind, issued by the WSPU to honor the courage and determination of the suffragettes who risked their freedom in the fight for women's suffrage. This powerful image not only captures the essence of the suffragette movement but also serves as a reminder of the pivotal role Sylvia Pankhurst played in shaping the history of women's rights and suffrage in the United Kingdom.
