Suffragette Scared by Mouse
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and thought-provoking image from the early days of the women's suffrage movement in the late 19th century. The photograph, taken circa 1908, depicts a determined suffragette woman standing on a rickety stool, shrieking in panic as a small mouse scampers towards her. The caption that accompanies this image in the series reads, "Can woman expect to rule such a HOUSE, she thats afraid of a poor little mouse?" The suffragette movement was a pivotal moment in women's history, as women fought for the right to vote and have a voice in the political process. The image of a suffragette, a symbol of strength and determination, reduced to fear at the sight of a harmless mouse, is a powerful reminder of the challenges women faced during this time. The caption adds an extra layer of complexity to the image, suggesting that women's ability to rule and govern was being questioned based on their reactions to seemingly insignificant things. The image is a poignant reminder of the societal expectations and biases that women faced during this time, and the lengths to which they had to go to prove their worth and capability. The suffragette's fear of the mouse may have been a small moment in the grand scheme of things, but it speaks to the larger issue of women's place in society and their struggle for equality. The "This is the House that man built" series, of which this image is a part, was a powerful visual commentary on the role of women in society and the limitations placed on them by men. The series challenged societal norms and sparked important conversations about women's rights and suffrage, making it an essential part of women's history and a fascinating glimpse into the past.
