EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ethel Mary Smyth, a remarkable figure in English history. Born in 1858 and passing away in 1944, Smyth was not only an accomplished composer but also a passionate suffragette. Her contributions to both music and the women's suffrage movement are truly inspiring. One of her most notable compositions is "The March of the Women" written in 1911 as the battle song for suffragettes. This powerful anthem became synonymous with their fight for equality and remains an emblematic piece to this day. Alongside this renowned work, Smyth composed choral works, symphonies, and operas such as "Der Wald" (1901), "The Wreckers" (1906), and "The Boatswain's Mate" (1902). In this particular image, we see a drawing by acclaimed artist John Singer Sargent capturing Smyth's essence beautifully. The illustration was featured in The Sphere magazine on July 26,1902. It highlights her determination and talent while emphasizing her role as a prominent female musician during that era. Ethel Mary Smyth's legacy extends far beyond her musical achievements; she played a significant role in advancing women's rights through her activism as well. Her dedication to both artistry and social progress serves as an inspiration for generations to come.
