Still Waters Posted September 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2018 A previously unknown letter from the first suffragette to be jailed in the campaign for the vote has been discovered by an Oxford historian. Written the day after Annie Kenney was released from prison in Manchester in 1905, it is being claimed as the earliest known letter from a woman involved in the militant protests. The letter, to her sister, was found in an archive in Canada. "We don't have anything like this before," said Lyndsey Jenkins. "This is the first account by a woman about what it's like to go to prison for the vote," Ms Jenkins told the BBC. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-45576262 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
