- Description:
- Wealthy aristocrats Frederick and Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence were leaders in the Women's Social and Political Union and the editors of its journal Votes for Women. Their home became WSPU’s London headquarters. In 1912, they were arrested along with other WSPU leaders on charges of conspiracy to commit damage after a window smashing campaign in West London. They were sentenced to nine months in jail, during which they went on hunger strike and were force-fed. The deposition is part of the Pethick-Lawrence papers and is annotated.
