EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative portrait captures the determination and passion of Florence de Fonblanque (1864-1949), a pioneering figure in the British women's suffrage movement. Known for her tireless advocacy and organizational skills, de Fonblanque is best remembered for her role in the 1912 Women's Suffrage Pilgrimage from Edinburgh to London. This historic event brought together thousands of suffragettes, who marched in support of women's right to vote. De Fonblanque's activism began in earnest in 1912 when she founded the Qui Vive Corps, a militant suffrage organization that disrupted political meetings and public events to draw attention to the cause. The following year, she organized the Edinburgh to London march, which saw over 10,000 women and their supporters make the arduous journey on foot. The suffrage movement was a crucial moment in the struggle for female emancipation, as women fought for social and political equality. De Fonblanque's leadership and commitment were instrumental in bringing attention to the cause and galvanizing support from the public. Her legacy continues to inspire generations of women's rights activists, and this portrait stands as a testament to her indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication to the cause."
