Mrs Pankhurst will speak at a Public Open-Air Meeting, Glebe Place.

Handbill announcing a speech by Emmeline Pankhurst to be held on the upstairs balcony of a house in Glebe Place Chelsea, home of Gladys and Dr Schütze on 21st February 1914. At the time of her appearance Emmeline was on release from prison under licence under the terms of the 'Cat and Mouse Act.' Although not officially allowed to appear in public Emmeline was smuggled into Glebe House with one of her bodyguards in defiance of the authorities, and announced her intended appearance on the balcony in the Times newspaper that morning. The wide distribution of the handbill and the announcement in the Times ensured a large crowd gathered to hear Emmeline's speech in which she questioned why the Home Secretary had not agreed to force-feed her in contrast to her fellow Suffragette prisoners in Holloway such as Rachel Peace.

Gladys and her husband Dr Schütze, an Australian bacteriologist offered their home as a safe house to Suffragette prisoners released under the terms of the Cat & Mouse Act. Although a member of the WSPU Gladys was not an active militant campaigner.
