Votes+for+Women+-+August+1913 

=Crimes= ==Many women were sentenced for days or months in prison. Every week more people- women and men- were pulled into the police for breaking the law. Some were given hard labour depending on whether their crimes could be a big offence against the government, or if they were small things like stealing an apple.== ==To make sure others could get involved, many places ran a local newspaper. Due to printing costs, suffragettes had to enroll jobs in order to keep it running. These jobs included gardening, business, dressmaking, laundry, electrolysis and miscellaneous. They were hard and tiring, but people kept going to try and claim the vote and rights for women.== ==Mr. Baines, Mrs. Baines and their son were arrested for causing an explosion near a railway. Many men also got jailed for actions on behalf of women's rights. They believed that women should be able to vote. Two suffragettes were sent to prison for breaking windows, with 2 months of hard labour. Some may say that if a male committed that crime, they would be given a fraction of what a women was sentenced.== ==In the Votes for Women magazines there are lots of adverts for different things. There were adverts for fish; there were adverts for dress makers, toys, books, nursery's- everything really! The most surprising feature I found were there were lots of fish adverts, about 6 in one edition!==

==//__The message that these suffragettes were showing through the Votes For Women magazine was that they wanted as many to join. There was something for everybody to read and enjoy, no matter what gender. They had to endure many harsh treatments, though they kept going. Not only did they work many hours in different jobs, but they also spent time in spreading their word as far as possible.__//==
