Source 37:  List of suffragists under the ‘Cat and Mouse’ Act, Votes for Women, 1913

Description

In April 1913, the 'Cat and Mouse Act' was introduced. It allowed the release of seriously ill prisoners as a result of hunger-striking and their re-arrest once they had recovered. The implementation of the Act led to further militant action.

This list appeared in 'Votes for Women', 8 August 1913.
