Description:
|
Letter from Emmeline Pankhurst, suffragette leader. She informs Scott of the death of her younger sister [Mary Jane] Clarke, suffragette. Mary Jane had been released from Holloway prison where she had been force-fed, before being found dead two days’ later from a burst blood vessel on the 22nd December. She reminds C.P. Scott that he had visited Clarke in prison last year. She writes not only because of this, but also because he might be able to use his power to bring the struggle [for women’s suffrage] to an end.
