Alike Begin Breaks Coal Militant Miners Refers Strike Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of determination and defiance that characterized both the Suffragette movement for women's rights and the 1912 National Coal Strike. The militant suffragette in the foreground, clad in a bold purple and white sash, breaks the shop window with a hammer, her focused gaze fixed on the shattered glass. The miners in the background, dressed in their work clothes and carrying picket signs, stand in solidarity with her cause. The date of this powerful image, circa 1912, refers to the height of the suffrage movement and the National Coal Strike that took place from February to April of that year. Though these two groups may have seemed worlds apart, this photograph poignantly illustrates the shared experiences of striking and fighting for their respective rights. The Suffragettes, who sought the right to vote, and the miners, who demanded better wages and working conditions, were united in their resolve to challenge the status quo and bring about change. This historical photograph, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a compelling glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the resilience and courage of those who have fought for social justice and equality.
