EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment of activism and protest in 20th century Britain. Taken on November 12,1908, at the City Temple in London, it depicts the ejection of a woman questioner during a speech by Augustine Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ireland in Herbert Asquith's Liberal government. The woman was forcefully removed from the premises for interrupting Birrell's address. This incident highlights the struggles faced by women seeking equality and their fight for suffrage rights. The image showcases an era when women were actively campaigning for their voices to be heard and demanding equal rights. In this snapshot of history, we witness the determination and courage of feminist activists who challenged societal norms. Their direct action inside City Temple symbolizes their relentless pursuit of democracy and human rights. As we observe this scene unfold on the stairs leading up to an interior space filled with men, it serves as a reminder that gender inequality persisted even within political spheres. The unknown woman being expelled represents countless others who fought tirelessly for women's suffrage. This photograph is part of the Historica Graphica Collection, capturing significant moments that shaped our world. It stands as a testament to those who paved the way towards progress and reminds us how far society has come in terms of gender equality since then.
