Evelina Scarlett Haverfield Suffrage Organizer Militant Real Photo Postcard
The Hon. Mrs. Evelina Haverfield (1867–1920) was a prominent British suffragette and social reformer, known for her active involvement with the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). Her role as a marshall for a "Votes for Women" demonstration, as depicted, illustrates her dedication to the militant wing of the women's suffrage movement, often involving public demonstrations and direct action to advocate for political equality.
This demonstration likely refers to one of the large-scale public spectacles organized by the WSPU around 1908, such as the monumental "Women's Sunday" rally in Hyde Park, London. Such events were pivotal in drawing public attention to the demand for female enfranchisement, showcasing the organized power and determination of suffragettes in early 20th-century Britain as they pressed for legislative change.
