EDITORS COMMENTS
Sermons in Stones: A Masculine Suffragette Ready to Shatter the Status Quo This powerful image captures the determination and militancy of the suffragette movement during the early 20th century. The suffragette in this photograph, with her strong and muscular build, stands as a testament to the courage and resilience of women who fought for their right to vote. Holding a bag of stones, she is prepared to aim at shop windows, a common tactic used by militant suffragettes to draw attention to their cause. The poster, titled "Sermons in Stones," was designed by renowned British artist John Hassall for the National League for Opposing Woman Suffrage. The companion card to the famous "Give me a vote" and "Going Shopping" posters, this print was produced around 1912, a pivotal year in the suffrage movement. The captioned text, "Give me a vote," encapsulates the simple yet powerful demand of the suffragettes. The use of the word "sermons" in the title adds a layer of irony, as the suffragettes were often criticized for their militant tactics, which were seen as a departure from the more peaceful methods advocated by some suffragists. This photograph is an important historical artifact, reminding us of the sacrifices and struggles of the suffragettes who fought for women's rights and paved the way for future generations to enjoy the privilege of voting. It is a poignant reminder of the power of collective action and the indomitable spirit of those who refuse to be silenced or marginalized.
