Miniature telescope, made of brass-like metal with a black leather sheath. Stanhopes were novelty souvenirs popular during the 19th century. The image can be seen by holding it up to the light and looking into the tiny hole.
British suffragist, Sylvia Pankhurst, was an organizer of the Women's Social and Political Union and a daughter of its founder, Emmeline Pankhurst. She was imprisoned several times during the suffrage campaign and participated in hunger strikes. She broke away from the WSPU in 1913 in favor of a more peaceful way of campaigning and formed the East London Federation of Suffragettes.
The Lewis collection includes Mary Clarke, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Sylvia Pankhurst. Stanhopes were also created for Lucy Stone, Carrie Chapman Catt, and Anna Howard Shaw.

Votes for Women was launched and co-edited by Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence and her husband, Frederick Pethick-Lawrence in 1907. The journal began as the official publication of the militant suffrage organization, the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU). In 1912, the Pethick-Lawrences began to publish it independently. In 1914, they ceded control of the paper to the United Suffragists, who continued to publish it monthly until 1918 when they ceased publication after the passage of the 1918 Qualification of Women Act.
