EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to a monumental moment in history - the triumphant release of English suffragettes Edith New and Mary Leigh from Holloway Prison. Taken on 22 August 1908, this powerful image captures the essence of their fight for equality as they are carried through the bustling streets of London. The scene is filled with an air of determination and resilience, as these brave women proudly walk alongside a large group of fellow suffragettes. Their hats adorned with symbols of the movement, they stand tall in historical clothing that symbolizes their unwavering commitment to securing voting rights for women. The poster-sized print showcases the strength and unity displayed by these courageous individuals who dared to challenge societal norms. The contrast between their femininity and the battle they fought against gender inequality is strikingly evident in this photograph. As we gaze upon this illustration-like painting brought to life, it serves as a reminder that progress often comes at great cost. These women faced immense opposition but refused to be silenced or deterred from their cause. This historic snapshot encapsulates not only a pivotal moment in British history but also represents a universal struggle for equal rights that continues today. It stands as a testament to the power of collective action and serves as an inspiration for future generations striving towards social justice.
