EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights as Emmeline Pankhurst, her daughter Christabel Pankhurst, and fellow suffragette leader Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence make their way through the Coronation Procession on June 17, 1911. The trio, dressed in their finest attire, proudly march in front of a banner proclaiming "690 Imprisonments to win Freedom for Women." The Coronation Procession of June 17, 1911, was the largest and most spectacular of all the suffragette demonstrations leading up to the historic rally at the Albert Hall. The suffragettes, who had been fighting for women's suffrage through militant tactics, sought to make their presence known at the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary. Emmeline Pankhurst, the founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), led the suffragette movement with unwavering determination. Her daughter Christabel and her colleague Mrs. Pethick-Lawrence were instrumental in organizing the demonstrations and rallies that would bring attention to the cause. The banner held aloft in this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave women in their quest for women's suffrage. The 690 imprisonments referenced on the banner represent the number of suffragettes who had been incarcerated in the months leading up to the coronation procession. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the fight for women's rights, a moment that would ultimately lead to women's suffrage being granted in the United Kingdom in 1918. The suffragettes' unwavering commitment to their cause, as evidenced by their presence at the coronation procession, helped to bring about a significant shift in societal norms and paved the way for future generations of women to enjoy the same rights and opportunities as their male counterparts.
