Giddap!
1914
In this lively 1914 illustration by Gordon Grant, four determined suffragettes march down a muddy country road, proudly wearing 'Votes for Women' sashes and carrying a large yellow banner. They stride confidently past a grumpy old farmer in a horse-drawn cart, who looks back at them with a mixture of bewilderment and skepticism. The piece perfectly captures the clash between the modern suffrage movement and traditional rural life, with the title 'Giddap!' likely referring to the farmer shouting at his horse to keep moving away from the commotion.
