Prison & Prisoners: Some Personal Experiences

Prison & Prisoners: Some Personal Experiences

by Constance Lytton

Constance Lytton, a member of the British aristocracy, was a passionate advocate for women's suffrage. Frustrated by the preferential treatment she received as a member of the upper class, she adopted the pseudonym Jane Wharton and joined the ranks of the more radical suffragettes. This memoir chronicles her experiences as an activist, including her arrest, imprisonment in Holloway Prison, and the harsh conditions she endured alongside other women fighting for their right to vote. Lytton's account provides a powerful firsthand look at the struggles and sacrifices of the suffragette movement and the realities of prison life in early 20th century England.
