Dummy Emmeline Feeding Forcible Irate Meeting Pankhurst Placard Policeman Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Waves Indignation Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the intense moment of conflict between British Suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst and a policeman during an "Indignation Meeting" in 1913. The Suffragette movement, led by women demanding the right to vote, had been subjected to harsh treatment by the authorities, including forcible feedings in prison to weaken their protests through hunger strikes. In this photograph, an irate Emmeline Pankhurst, holding a placard that reads "Fed by Force," faces off against a policeman who attempts to calm her down by waving a baby's dummy in her direction. The juxtaposition of the peaceful symbol of a baby's dummy against the fiery determination in Pankhurst's eyes underscores the intensity of the struggle for women's suffrage and the lengths to which the authorities were willing to go to suppress it. This photograph is an essential piece of history, providing a visual representation of the courage and resilience of the Suffragettes and their unwavering commitment to securing the right to vote for women.
