Printed Ephemera — 1914
The Suffragette
The Suffragette newspaper, 31 July 1914. The cartoon on the front cover depicts the force-feeding of a suffragette prisoner. This brutal procedure was forced on hunger-striking suffragettes 'to prevent them from starving to death and thereby becoming martyrs.' The Suffragette was the official weekly newspaper of the Women's Social and Political Union from 1912.
