OutrageManchester Art Gallery. Glass shattered many photos. Three women arrested.
The outrage was swift and well done. Shortly before nine o'clock in the evening of Thursday, April 3, 1913, when the Manchester Art Gallery is due to close and some were about a wizard heard "crackling crystal" comes from one of the galleries. Ran to the two assistants gallery and found three women, Lillian Forrester, Annie and Manesta Evelyn Briggs, running, breaking glass pictures largest and most valuable collections in the. It was well planned. Nowhere in the gallery of famous paintings all hung together . gallery doors were locked by the goalkeeper and three women were captured.
There was a hammer on the floor of the gallery. The hammer had a card tied with colored ribbons Union Women and Social Policies (UMPS). One side of the card with the message "Parliament honorable men, the women's prison honorable." The other side of the card read: "Stop eating."
Yesterday, the suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst founder was sentenced to three years imprisonment by "unknown persons who incite" violence.
The Manchester Art Gallery is celebrating the centenary of the image-crushing with a series of exhibitions and events called
Wonder Women
. This includes a fascinating interview, available online, recorded in 1978, Elizabeth Dean, a worker involved in Manchester suffragette active protest. She says she "danced with humor" when he learned of the proposed Asquith limited suffrage.
Since 1909, the WSPU became increasingly militant. Parliament did not listen to their arguments. Discussion and promises of reform has been broken several times. Women's suffrage was caricatured in the press as a joke or irritation. Anti-Suffrage League was established 26 offices across the country - mainly composed of women. Pankhurst called to arms acts not words. In the essay Manchester "malicious" damage women accused objected to the word "malicious". Annie Briggs told the judge: "This is not a personal matter, but a world of women protesting against it is intolerable for them.".
His voice is modern. It is modern. "Death to the prison, freedom of expression" is the version that landed two Riot pussy group members in prison. (In the judgment of the suffragettes judge told the women: "If the law allowed it to send everyone on a boat better for you.") The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, the party Putin, whose presidency he called "a miracle of God," to denounce Riot pussy as degenerate hooligans. He insisted that no one should get away with belonging to a sanctuary, forgetfulness, I suppose, that Christ did physical damage to erect tables in the temple of the money changers. The hypocrisy and moral indignation are useful in Drillbits Toolkit oppression. The best way to run a hole through the arguments about social justice activists denounced as enemies of the people. The Pankhursts Pussy Riot and the two have been accused of attacks against moral values ??and public goods: the museum and the church. The property is a physical symbol of the establishment.
Suffragette
composer Ethel Smyth - also imprisoned in Holloway - he saw things differently. "There's something hateful, disgusting in that pile of treasures of art, sentimentalization on beauty, while the desecration and destruction of the bodies of women and children by lust, disease and poverty are considered with indifference. "
Pankhurst said the judge in court that the legal system allows a maximum sentence of 14 years for the "crime" of incitement to violence. The maximum penalty for violation of two. Pussy Riot paper prosecution had more than 2800 pages, even if she had protested to an altar in less than a minute. Pussy Riot hunger strike to protest against his mock trial and mock justice. Suffragettes was on hunger strike since 1909. Note on the other side of the hammer, "Stop feeding" was an attempt to draw public attention to what was happening to women prisoners in Holloway.
Prisoner frozen for a rubber tube was pushed into the nose or throat and vomiting as a mixture of hot broth is poured into a funnel. Women with mashed potatoes smothered in mud, or vomiting. Longer a woman opened her mouth, panting against the suffocating pressure in your lungs disorder, is pushed over the tube in his throat. Broken jaws, teeth and nose bruising, swollen throat infections languages ??are commonplace. There was also the fear of infection from contaminated mucus tubes other prisoners were shared.
Nightwood wrote an article entitled "How does it feel to be force-fed. "It was introduced to the practice so that it can write to support the suffragettes.
