EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the determined and resolute gaze of Lilian Martha Hicks (1853-1924), a prominent figure in the British suffragette movement. Hicks was a dedicated advocate for women's rights and suffrage, joining the Women's Social and Political Union (W.S.P.U) in the latter part of 1906. However, she left the W.S.P.U upon the formation of the Women's Freedom League in November 1907, aligning herself with more militant tactics. The Autumn of 1911 saw Hicks return to the W.S.P.U, drawn back by the organization's renewed commitment to securing the vote for women through direct action. This photograph, believed to have been taken around 1908, captures Hicks in her prime, embodying the spirit of the suffragette movement and its relentless pursuit of progress. The suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote and participate in politics, was a pivotal moment in British history. Hicks and her fellow suffragettes employed various tactics, from peaceful protests to acts of civil disobedience, to bring attention to their cause. Their efforts culminated in the Representation of the People Act of 1918, which granted some women the right to vote. This evocative portrait of Lilian Hicks serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragettes, who fought tirelessly for the rights and freedoms we enjoy today. It is a testament to their enduring legacy and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to challenge the status quo.
