Original "Votes for Women" Magazine. Vol V. (New Series), No. 232. Friday, August 16, 1912. Votes for Women was founded in 1907 by Emmeline and Frederick Pethick-Lawrence, and was a popular and important source of suffrage news. Cover image shows pair of oval portraits for suffrage activists Mrs. Mary Leight and Miss Gladys Evans, who were both sentenced to 5 years of “Penal Servitude” for setting fire to a theater in Dublin. The article comments on the punishment: “By meting out punishment of such appalling severity the Government have created a situation which they themselves know cannot last. Even they realize that women cannot be sent for years to convict prisons as the alternative to giving them the Vote.” Good condition. Expected even toning with chips and small losses at edges.Item #16317
