Arrest of Emmeline Pankhurst in Victoria St.
The Suffragette arrest in Victoria St. The arrest of the Suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst, 13th February 1908. The photograph depicts Emmeline accompanied by Minnie Baldock and Gladice Keevil being arrested as she attempts to lead a deputation to the House of Commons. In her hand is a scroll with a resolution written during a Suffragette meeting in Caxton Hall the same day at which it was learnt that no mention of women's suffrage was to be made in the King's Speech. Emmeline walking with a limp from an injury she sustained the previous month in an altercation with Liberal party supporters in Devon was arrested on a charge of obstructing a policeman. The following day she received a sentence of six weeks in Holloway prison, a sentence which she served in full.
