London Life - A Rotary Postcard photograph showing a suffragette selling copies of 'The Suffragette paper - October, 1912. The woman in the image is wearing a ?Holloway brooch?, a ?brooch of honour? designed by Sylvia Pankhurst for women who had been imprisoned in Holloway Prison. The brooch shows ?a portcullis symbol of the House of commons, the gate and hanging chains in silver and the superimposed broad arrow in purple, white and green enamel?. The newsletter ?The Suffragette? was published by the Women?s Social and Political Union (WSPU). It replaced the earlier ?Votes for Women? newsletter in 1912 when the WSPU became more militant. The issue which is on display in the photograph may concern an important letter by written by James Barr to the Prison Commissioners (right) in which he describes the force-feeding of Rose Howey in Walton Prison, Liverpool in January 1910. Prior to this letter the official position on force-feeding was that it was done in order to save lives however Barr?s letter makes it clear that Howey was not at risk when she was force-fed.
