EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant cartoon illustrates the harrowing experience of force feeding a suffragette on hunger strike in a British prison during the early 20th century. The suffragette, a determined and resolute woman, lies helplessly in her cell, her body held down by two men - a prison warder and a doctor. The doctor, with a look of disdain, pours soup into her mouth through a large funnel, as a one hundredweight (112 kg) weight is used to keep her immobilized. The force feeding of suffragettes on hunger strike was a common tactic used by the government to break their campaign for women's suffrage and the right to vote. This inhumane practice ended in 1913 with the passing of the Cat and Mouse Act, officially known as the Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill Health) Act. This legislation allowed suffragettes to be released from prison when their health deteriorated due to the force feeding, only to be re-arrested once they had recovered. The suffragette movement was a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights and democracy, as it led to the achievement of women's suffrage in the UK in 1918. This historical cartoon is a stark reminder of the sacrifices and struggles made by women in their fight for equality and the right to vote.
