Might is Right,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a powerful and provocative suffragette play, was staged at the prestigious Haymarket Theatre in London during November 1909. This photograph captures a pivotal scene from the production, featuring the passionate and determined suffragette, Barbara Tracy, played by the talented Amy Brandon-Thomas. The suffragette movement, a pivotal moment in women's history, was a campaign for the right to vote. This movement, which began in the late 19th century, gained significant momentum in the early 20th century, with women taking to the streets in protest and using various forms of civil disobedience to demand their rights. "Might is Right" was one of several plays written specifically for the suffrage cause, and its staging at the Haymarket Theatre was a significant milestone in the movement's history. The play, of unknown authorship, was a bold and daring work that challenged the societal norms of the time and highlighted the injustice of women's exclusion from the political process. In this photograph, Barbara Tracy, portrayed by Amy Brandon-Thomas, is shown in a heated exchange with an opponent. Her fiery expression and resolute stance embody the spirit of the suffragette movement and the unwavering determination of women to secure their right to vote. The Haymarket Theatre, a renowned venue for theatrical productions, served as a fitting stage for this groundbreaking work, which helped to bring attention to the suffrage cause and galvanize support for women's rights. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of the suffragette movement and the courageous women who fought for the right to vote. It is a testament to the power of art and the stage to effect change and inspire social progress.
