Légende

Ex-suffragette prisoners, wearing replica prison clothing, advertise a 'protest meeting' to be held outside Holloway Gaol, 7th November 1908. The suffragettes advertised the meeting from the back of an open carriage which travelled round the main streets of the West End of London. Policeman stand by in case of any trouble.The women were particularly worried about Emmeline Pankhurst, who was reported to be in the hospital wing at the gaol. Wherever suffragettes were in prison, local (N) WSPU members and sympathizers would regularly stand outside the prison walls and sing suffragette songs to try and keep up the morale of their imprisoned sisters, and to remind them they had not been forgotten.
