Sufferagette Hunger Strikes
An imprisoned sufferagette, Marion Wallace Dunlop, went on a hunger strike on the 5th July 1909. She was a sculpter and artist and was held in Holloway Prison for printing an extract form the Bill of Rights on the wall of St Steven's Hall. She asked to be treated as a political prisoner in prison but her request was denied. Three days after her conviction, she began her hunger strike. Marion refused food for 91 hours and then was released from prison. The prisons released her because they didn't want to take the blame for her death.
