EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in July 1911, we see Miss Kelly, a courageous suffragette, standing defiantly in the middle of a road. The image captures her determination to avoid arrest for obstruction as she sells copies of Votes for Women newspaper. Published by the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an influential militant organization at the forefront of the fight for women's suffrage in Britain, this publication served as a powerful tool to advocate for equality. Miss Kelly's attire reflects both her commitment to activism and the fashion trends of early 20th century Britain. With her hat perched proudly atop her head and dressed impeccably, she embodies strength and resilience. Holding up a copy of Votes for Women with conviction, she symbolizes not only her personal dedication but also represents countless other women who fought tirelessly for their rights. This historic photograph is more than just an image; it encapsulates an era defined by political struggle and social change. It serves as a reminder that progress towards democracy should never be taken for granted. Miss Kelly's presence on that street becomes emblematic of all those who dared to challenge societal norms and paved the way towards gender equality. The monochrome composition adds depth to this portrait while evoking nostalgia from a time when women were fighting passionately against inequality. This print from Heritage Images allows us to glimpse into history through one woman's determined stance - selling votes for women amidst adversity - reminding us how far we have come on our journey
