Title A name given to the resource "National League for Opposing Woman-Suffrage" Badge Description An account of the resource Badge produced by National League for Opposing Woman-Suffrage. The NLOWS was founded in 1910 in London, after the merger of the Women’s National Anti-Suffrage League and the Men’s League for Opposing Woman Suffrage, to oppose granting voting rights to women in the UK. Reasons given for this opposition included: doubts women would be able to make sound political decisions due to their emotional nature, fears that if women became involved in politics, they would stop having children and the human race would die out, claims that women were already represented by their husbands, and so on. The organisation ceased to exist after the 1918 Representation of the People Act.

KNEBWORTH HOMEWOOD, KNEBWORTH, HERTS. April 12. 1910 Dearest Annie It is dreadful to have to refuse you especially as I believe to be alongside of you would do me an immense amount of good just now. But my body is still on strike, gets exhausted (& the brain too) with the smallest exertion. I am [Page 2] concentrating my power on the Glasgow Exhibition- I am booked to open it on the 2? Day/. April 28th. The [Dr][&] my people think that a [m]ad idea & I expect I shall have to do it in the face of their contrary advice. If that [answers] –if I do [Page 3] the job creditably & do not break from it, then I shall go on & make other engagements but I daren’t book myself for such a long journey immediately after Glasgow. I have been struggling for a week with an article for Votes. My [Page 4] brain simply won’t work & the vain effort makes me fearfully deprest [depressed] I daren’t undertake [r]eal meeting speeches while like this. Of course I don’t really feel deprest [depressed]: it is only a passing thing. Good luck [for] all [your] special weeks. Your always loving Sister Conny Don’t [trouble ] to answer this.

Title A name given to the resource Letter from Constance Lytton to Annie Kenney, 1910 Description An account of the resource [Transcript of letter is available below] Dated 12 April 1910, this letter from Lady Constance Lytton is a reply to an invitation to speak at a Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) fundraiser from Annie Kenney. Lady Constance refuses on account of her ill health following her hunger strike during a prison stay. She was booked to open the Grand Suffrage Bazaar and Exhibition held in St Andrews Halls, Glasgow, 28 – 30 April 1910 and could not undertake any more public appearances due to their strain on her mental and physical recovery. Constance Lytton was a prominent suffragette, women's rights activist, and campaigner for prison reform. She was imprisoned on a number of occasions, but felt she was not given the same treatment as other suffragette inmates due to her aristocratic background. To test her theory, she gave a fake name - Jane Warton - after being taken to Walton Gaol, Liverpool. As Jane Warton, she adopted the hunger strike and was force-fed - an experience which disturbed her health for the rest of her life. She documented the experience in her 1914 memoir Prisons and Prisoners.
