Notes

  • Consists of 3 parts: One: The Hunger Strike (Constance speaks); Two: Forcible Feeding (The Doctor speaks); Three: Alter Ego (A dialogue between Constance and Jane).
  • Author's note: In solidarity with working class suffragettes, Lady Constance Lytton, daughter of the first Viceroy of India, went to prison disguised as a seamstress, Jane Warton. This, her third imprisonment, took place in Liverpool, England January 1910. Her book, Prisons and Prisoners, published under both her name and Jane's exposed the abuses, such as forcible feeding, to which these women were subject. Her stay in prison broke her health.
