Dec 5th, 1913: A Vision of Women's Empowerment and Divine Protection - "Votes for Women," Jerusalem This image, published on December 5th, 1913, graces the cover of the suffrage publication, "Votes for Women." The illustration, titled "Jerusalem," was created by the talented Ethel Frances Everett and showcases an Arts and Crafts aesthetic. At the center of the image, the infant Christ, Mary, and Joseph are depicted in a tender moment, with Mary cradling her son. However, what sets this scene apart is the imposing figure of a woman, clad in armor and holding a shield, standing protectively behind them. This powerful representation of a woman as a guardian and protector is a striking departure from traditional depictions of the Holy Family. The lines from William Blake's "Jerusalem" that accompany the image read, "And did those feet in ancient time, / Walk upon Englands mountains green: / And was the Holy Lamb of God, / On Englands pleasant pastures seen!" These lines add a layer of spiritual significance to the image, emphasizing the idea that women, like the woman in the illustration, have the power to protect and nurture, just as the divine has done throughout history. The Arts and Crafts feel of the illustration adds to its timeless quality, with intricate details and a warm color palette that evoke a sense of comfort and familiarity. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of women, and the importance of their voices being heard in the political sphere. The suffragettes of the early 20th century fought tirelessly for women's rights, and this image, with its blend of spirituality and feminist empowerment, stands as a testament to their efforts.
