@womanandsphere Thank you for this. It is gratifying to see that thanks to your hard work the medal is in safe and respectful hands. Also pleased to see the WSPU honoured those who were not on the front line but were essentially serving those who were.
Nurse Catherine Pine looked after Emmeline Pankhurst throughout her hunger-striking years - and after. Here is her suffragette medal. It’s existence once seemed a mystery - read here how that mystery has been solved womanandhersphere.com/2024/04/27/suf…

Florence's "VOTES FOR WOMEN" banner was donated to the @TolsonMuseum womenssuffrageinkirklees.blogspot.com/p/huddersfield…
I’ve long loved this New Year card 1912 -see Mary Lowndes Album #flickr flic.kr/p/C85SBL in Women’s Library @LSELibrary. In my book ‘Art and Suffrage’ I suggested it prob was work of Susan Beatrice Pearse. Eureka.I’ve just stumbled across the proof in The Vote, 11 Nov 1911
1912 #OTD Common Cause, the #suffragist newspaper, reported on how the #Herefordshire campaign for votes for women was going. Margaret Renton made lots of local contacts & ended with a pithy comment... @LzbethP @GrangeCourtLeo Read more: #HardWorkButGlorious (Image: @BNArchive)
Rise up, Women, also known as Our Emmeline, is a bronze sculpture of Emmeline Pankhurst in St Peter's Square, Manchester. #VotesForWomen #Emmeline #Manchester #LawCostsTraveller #CostingAdrian
@alexgordon4me Also odd there's no mention of John Archer. Black mayor of Battersea and Saklatvala's election agent. Battersea North had history with radical Labour candidates. 1918 GE the redoubtable Charlotte Despard ran for Labour in the seat.
#OTD in 1913 The Cat & Mouse Act was passed. This Act allowed for the early release of prisoners who were so weakened by hunger striking that they were at risk of death. They were to be recalled to prison once their health was recovered, where the process would begin again.
The most amazing resource. Well worth a listen
