EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a unique and intriguing novelty item from the early 20th century - a Suffragette Toy Votes for Women Novelty.

The toy features a miniature woman's head with the words "Votes for Women" inscribed inside her open mouth. The electric buttonhole accessory was a novel way to promote the suffrage movement during a time when women's rights were a contentious issue. The suffragettes, led by organizations such as the Women's Social and Political Union and the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, fought tirelessly for the right to vote. This toy is a testament to the creativity and determination of those who supported the cause. The Suffragette Toy Votes for Women Novelty is an intriguing historical artifact that provides a glimpse into the past and the innovative ways people used to express their political beliefs. The toy serves as a reminder of the rich history of the suffrage movement and the important strides made towards women's rights.
