A group of suffragettes on board a cart advertising the newspaper Votes for Women, containing articles by Emmeline Pankhurst and Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence, two of the principal figures of the campaign. Other posters refer to 'Government's assault on suffragettes'. Demonstrations by campaigners were sometimes met with force and many women were injured and sent to prison.
