Printed Ephemera — 1912
Cat belonging to the Suffragette Janie Terrero
Photograph of the cat (Blackie) owned by the Suffragette Janie Terrero. On the reverse of the photo, Janie has written 'Blackie- this little cat refused all food when I was hungerstriking in Holloway and he died! He was at home with his master.' The master referred to in the image is presumably Janie's husband Manuel Terrero a member of the Men's Political Union For Women's Enfranchisement. Janie joined the Women's Social and Political Union in 1908 becoming Honorary Secretary of the Pinner branch in 1910. The imprisonment referred to in the photograph was for Janie's part in the WSPU window smashing campaign of March 1912 for which she sentenced to four months in Holloway during which time she went on hunger-strike and was force fed.
