Printed Ephemera — 1913
Emmeline Pankhurst addressing a crowd in New York
Photograph of Emmeline Pankhurst addressing a crowd in New York. Typed on the back is 'SUFFRAGETTES HOOTED IN NEW YORK. Mrs Pankhurst being jeered at while making a speech at Wall Street, New York'.
Although some of the spectators in this crowd may have been jeering, Emmeline's trip to USA in October 1913 was regarded as a great success and raised over £4,000 for the Women’s Social and Political Union. Emmeline regarded her initial detention on Ellis Island by the US immigration authorities to be welcome publicity, resulting in enhanced donations.
