Bill Eligible Million Parliamentary Proposed Stark Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Votes Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking illustration from circa 1909 powerfully conveys the gender disparity in voting rights under the proposed Parliamentary Bill of that year. The image contrasts the seven million men depicted, each with a cross marked on their chest, symbolizing their eligibility to vote, with only 1.5 to 2 million women, represented by a single figure, who would be eligible to cast a ballot under the bill. The suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote and challenge gender inequality, gained significant momentum during this period. The contrast between the large number of men and the small number of women underscores the urgency of the suffragettes' demands for women's suffrage. This historical image serves as a poignant reminder of the struggle for women's rights and the progress made since then in achieving gender equality in political representation.
