| Description | The advent of women at the polls, 1929 |
| Details |
Two sophisticated and fashionable ladies in heels, cloche hats and fur trimmed coats alight from a taxi at a polling station where they will vote for the first time in the General Election of May 1929. This photograph was accompanied by a caption which may be either humorous, or misogynistically sceptical, but it refers to several ladies who died after the mentally and phyically overwhelming effort of casting their vote!
