Placard Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Valentine Vote Votes Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This cut-out card from the early 1910s showcases the powerful message of the suffragette movement during a time when women's right to vote was still a contentious issue. The image features a young woman wearing a hat adorned with a ribbon and carrying a "Votes for Women" placard. With a playful twist, she invites onlookers to "Vote for me for a Valentine Date." The suffragette movement, which began in the late 19th century, aimed to secure the right to vote for women through peaceful protests and civil disobedience. The use of symbols, such as the "Votes for Women" slogan and the suffragette colors of purple, green, and white, became a powerful means of raising awareness and rallying support. This card is a testament to the determination and creativity of the suffragettes, who found innovative ways to spread their message even during holidays and celebrations. It also highlights the importance of women's activism and the role it played in shaping the political landscape of the 20th century. As we commemorate the centenary of women's suffrage in many countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, this card serves as a reminder of the courage and perseverance of the suffragettes and the impact of their legacy on women's rights and gender equality.
