Emmeline Pankhurst was a charismatic leader and eloquent speaker. By 1913 she had served three prison sentences; two in 1908 for leading a deputation to Parliament, and for inciting the public to 'rush' the House of Commons. In the wake of the window smashing of March 1912, she was sentenced to nine months in prison for conspiracy to commit damage.

This photograph was distributed on a postcard and shows her wearing the 'Holloway Badge' at her throat. The badge; an arrow of purple, white and green enamel mounted on a portcullis was designed by her daughter, Sylvia, and was awarded to suffragettes who had been imprisoned for their involvement in the campaign.

Constance Lytton joined the WSPU in 1908. She served four prison sentences. Born into an aristocratic family, Lytton was dismayed at the special treatment she received from the authorities owing to her family connections. When arrested in Liverpool while disguised as a working class woman 'Jane Warton', she was sentenced to hard labour and forcibly fed when going on hunger strike. This exposed the worse treatment to which working class prisoners were subject. Lytton later suffered a stroke owing to her prison experiences. (Museum of London)]]> Merchandise

"When The Women Vote" by Paul Plaschke shows a woman approaching a small house on wheels, decorated with bows and signs that say: "Ladies-Register here for School Trustee Election" and "A Pink Certificate with Each Registration" used as a way to attract women voters.

"The Political Pannier" by James North depicts Theodore Roosevelt during his bid for president during the 1912 election. The illustration features a crudly drawn Roosevelt, wearing a long dress, gloves, and an apron with the slogan "Votes for Women Vote for Me."

"Wisdom" by Arthur George Racey shows a woman standing at the entrance to Canada, wearing a hat labeled "Militant Suffragette" and carrying supplies, including "assorted bricks, hatchets, and other missils" and "kerosene for incendiary purposes." The guard prevents her from entering. The cartoon is a reference to Barbara Wylie, member of the Women's Social and Political Union in England who went to Canada for a suffrage speaking tour in 1912.]]> Plaschke, Paul, 1880-1954
