EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the determination and passion of Frances Mary Sterling (1869-1943), a prominent Suffragist and a dedicated advocate for women's suffrage in early 20th century Britain. Sterling was an active member of the London Society for Women's Suffrage and held the position of joint Hon. Secretary of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS), also known as the National Society for Women's Suffrage, until 1911. In 1913, Sterling became the President of the Falmouth branch of the NUWSS, and she played a significant role in the organization's Pilgrimage West of England route. The Pilgrimage was a series of demonstrations and processions that took place throughout England in 1913, aimed at raising awareness and support for women's suffrage. Sterling's commitment to the cause is evident in her expressive gaze and the fervor with which she held the suffrage banner. The photograph offers a glimpse into the intense and transformative period in British history when women's rights activists, led by courageous individuals like Sterling, fought tirelessly for the right to vote. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles endured by Suffragettes during their quest for women's suffrage, ultimately leading to the Representation of the People Act 1918, which granted some women the right to vote for the first time in British history. Frances Mary Sterling's legacy continues to inspire generations of women's rights advocates, and her unwavering dedication to the cause remains a testament to the power of grassroots activism and perseverance.
