Emmeline Pankhurst led the deputation.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs they approached the palace gates, they were met by a substantial police force.

Because of that refusal and the high police presence, things turned violent. Emmeline Pankhurst was arrested, carried bodily away by Chief Inspector (or Superintendent) Rolfe. At the time she called out, “Arrested at the gates of the Palace. Tell the King!” In total, 66 women and 2 men were arrested. Many women were injured. Ambulances were used for some of those hurt in clashes with police.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was a turning point in the suffragette movement in terms of tactics: trying to address the monarch directly rather than just petitioning Parliament or Ministers. It illustrated both the frustration of suffragettes with being blocked at many levels and their willingness to engage in riskier, more confrontational actions. Publicity around the event was important: it generated wide coverage, images, newspaper headlines, etc., which helped make the broader public aware of the suffragettes’ grievances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flyer is dated 21 May 1914, announcing a Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) demonstration led by Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst to Buckingham Palace. Printed in bold purple lettering with an illustration by H. M. Dallas and printed by David Allen \u0026amp; Sons, the poster called supporters to march in protest of the government’s continued refusal to grant women the vote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular deputation was among the last great militant actions of the suffragette movement before the outbreak of the First World War. It was staged against the backdrop of the notorious “Cat and Mouse Act” (Prisoners [Temporary Discharge for Ill Health] Act, 1913), under which hunger-striking suffragettes were released from prison when weakened, only to be rearrested once recovered. The flyer explicitly demands an end to the “torture of women” by force-feeding, and pointedly contrasts the harsh repression of suffragettes with the government’s tolerance of “militant Ulster men”, who were then threatening armed insurrection over Irish Home Rule.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is not only a powerful artefact of the suffragette struggle but also a direct link to Mrs. Pankhurst herself, the most iconic figure of the campaign for women’s enfranchisement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition is good, some browning and creasing.
