EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of Miss Agnes Husband, painted by Alec Grieve in 1909, is a testament to the strength and determination of women during the early 20th century. This oil on canvas masterpiece, measuring an impressive 123.2x92.1 cm, can be found at The McManus in Dundee, UK. Miss Agnes Husband was not just any woman; she was a prominent figure in Scottish politics and a fervent advocate for women's rights. As one of the few female councillors of her time, she played an instrumental role in the suffragette movement and was associated with the Women's Freedom League (WFL). In this striking portrayal, Miss Agnes Husband is depicted seated at a writing desk adorned with papers and quills—a symbol of her intellectual prowess and dedication to her cause. Her fur-trimmed coat adds an air of elegance to her persona while also hinting at the harsh realities faced by women fighting for their freedom. Alec Grieve masterfully captures both Miss Agnes Husband's external beauty and inner strength through his meticulous brushstrokes. Every detail—from the delicate features on her face to the intensity in her eyes—speaks volumes about her unwavering commitment to achieving equality for all women. This remarkable painting serves as a powerful reminder that progress often comes from individuals who refuse to accept societal norms and tirelessly fight against injustice. It stands as a tribute not only to Miss Agnes Husband but also to countless other brave suffrag
