EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Emmeline Pankhurst, the renowned British suffragette leader, stands proudly next to the Women's Social and Political Union (W.S.P.U) staff car, an Austin, presented to Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence in 1909. The year is estimated to be around 1910, and the location is believed to be in the picturesque Cotswolds area of England. The W.S.P.U was a militant organization that fought for women's right to vote and other political rights. Pankhurst, dressed in a fashionable yet practical outfit, looks determined and resolute as she gazes off into the distance. A suitcase sits atop the car's roof, suggesting that she may have been on a campaign tour, traveling from place to place to rally support for the suffrage cause. The Austin staff car, with its distinctive logo and the W.S.P.U emblem on the side, stands as a testament to the organization's growing influence and power. The photograph was taken by Mr. Dennis Moss, a local photographer based in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Moss captured a moment in history, immortalizing the iconic figure of Emmeline Pankhurst and the W.S.P.U's relentless fight for women's suffrage. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles endured by suffragettes like Pankhurst, who paved the way for women's political representation and equality.
