Mary Leigh (left) and Edith New (right) on their release from Holloway Gaol on 22nd August 1908. Smiling, they greet the crowds that have gathered to celebrate their release. The two women, who had both given up their teaching careers to become involved in the campaign, had carried out the first window-smashing attack. On 30th June they had broken windows at No 10 Downing Street in protest at the way fellow demonstrators had been treated by the police in Parliament Square, and had served nearly two months in prison.
