We Deserve A Medal: Militant Suffrage Activism
1st February to 31st May
Celebrate Glasgow Women’s Library’s recent acquisition of Maud Joachim’s hunger strike medal, with a rare opportunity to see two other special medals in this exhibition of militant suffrage memorabilia.
A suffragette and member of the Women’s Social and Political Union, Maud was arrested in Dundee on the 20th October 1909, with Adela Pankhurst, Helen Archdale, Catherine Corbett and Laura Evans, for interrupting a meeting led by Winston Churchill the day before. Maud went to prison where she was released after a four day hunger strike.
