Photograph of Lord Pethick Lawrence
Frederick Pethick-Lawrence (1871-1961), co-editor of votes for Women, business manager of the WSPU and founder of their publishing imprint The Woman's Press. As a barrister Frederick's professional expertise was invaluable to the WSPU in their legal battles with the Government and police. In May 1912 Pethick-Lawrence and his wife, Emmeline were charged with conspiracy to incite violence and were sentenced to 9 months in Holloway. In the autumn of 1912 Fred & Emmeline were expelled from the WSPU by the Pankhursts for daring to criticize the escalating campaign of militancy.
