Angels Blow Bomb Declares Dressed Hammer Militant Purple Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Threatens Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the determination and militancy of the Suffragette movement during the early 1900s, as a woman holds a smoking bomb and hammer, threatening to "blow men sky high." Dressed in the colors of the Suffragette movement - purple for loyalty and dignity, white for purity, and green for hope - this militant figure represents the fierce commitment of women to secure their right to vote. The Suffragette movement, which began in the late 1800s, was a major force in the fight for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. Faced with persistent opposition from political and social elites, Suffragettes resorted to various forms of civil disobedience, including protests, marches, and even bombings, to bring attention to their cause. This photograph, taken circa 1913, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles of the Suffragettes. The woman's defiant expression and the smoking bomb at her feet convey a sense of urgency and intensity, as she declares, "Men are not all angels, but some soon will be!" This statement reflects the belief that men, as the dominant political power, needed to change their ways and support women's suffrage. The Suffragette movement eventually succeeded in securing the right to vote for women in the UK, with the passage of the Representation of the People Act in 1918. This historical image serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of the Suffragettes, and the enduring impact of their activism on women's rights and gender equality.
