Mrs Pankhurst's Scottish Tour started with a well-attended meeting in the Queen of the Lakes Pavilion, Keswick, on August 18. Miss Zimmerman was in the chair, and the proceedings opened with the singing of "The March of the Women," by Lady Sybil Smith…

The next day Mrs Pankhurst spoke at Charleton House at an At Home given by Mrs Anstruther. People motored from far and near; many had never been to a Suffrage meeting before, and the result was a great sale of literature. The St Andrews meeting, admirably organised by Miss Fraser Smith and Miss Macfarlane was crowded. Mrs Findlay, secretary of the St Andrews NU presided and Mrs Anstruther proposed the vote of thanks.

Constable Herbert Tipple, 405c said that at 5.45 he was in Pal Mall, at the junction of Cockspur Street. He found a large plate glass window smashed at 15 and 16, Cockspur Street, the premises occupied by the Hamburg American Line. There was also a very large plate glass window smashed at No 17 and 19. He entered 15 and 16, and found the defendant (Margaret Macfarlane) being detained by Captain Bax. In the presence of the defendant Captain Bax said. "I saw this woman with a hammer in her hand. I saw her break both the windows… When the hammer was taken she said, "I have broken the window as a protest against the Government."

On Wednesday at 2 pm we were forcibly fed - all of us. I was fed three times. The first time was at 2 pm on Wednesday afternoon. When the doctor came to pay an official visit afterwards. I made a strong complaint to him on the way I have been treated. I asked him if he thought I was going to gain by those two thimblefuls of greul that I had taken after having a quarter of an hour's horseplay from four wardresses?

People imagine that there is a nurse sitting kindly by the bedside stroking the prisoner's forehead, and the prisoner is sipping from the feeding-cup. Instead of that, I was lifted into a chair and tied with a strong sheet to the back of the chair. As far as I can remember, my arms were held on each side on the arms of the chair. There was a wardress with a feeding cup (this wardress was 5 ft. 10½ in height, and very strong) and one behind my chair, making a gag for the mouth with her fingers. Another held my knees. I told them that I would not swallow a drop of the gruel voluntarily. When they found that I did not retain any of the food, the one who was gagging me egged the others on to tickle me, to hold my nose to make me swallow, and to grip me on the throat, which to me is the most cruel. The pressing of the throat to make one swallow gives a fearful feeling of suffocation. When they got my feet up, my head was hanging right over the back of the chair, which added to the choking sensation.

The demonstration of the Women's Social and Political Union was postponed until Tuesday evening, (28th January 1913) when Mrs Drummond led a deputation of working women from the Horticultural Hall to demand a further interview at the House of Commons with the Chancellor of the Exchequer.  The interview was refused, and the women were treated with violence by the police. Mrs Drummond herself was knocked down and injured shortly after her emergence from the hall. Persisting, however, in her mission, she and a number of other women, including Miss Sylvia Pankhurst were taken into custody.

At the same time, many windows were broken, both in Government offices and in private shops, and for these actions a further number of women, including Mrs Cobden Hirst, the well-known social worker and granddaughter of Richard Cobden, were taken into custody. Brought up at Bow Street on Wednesday, Mrs Drummond was charged with obstruction and sentenced to fourteen days' in the second division; with the option of a fine…

Of the window-breakers. Miss Mary Neil was fined and ordered to pay the damage, or in default fourteen days; Miss Margaret Macfarlane was similarly dealt with, or in default fourteen days.

At the London Sessions, charged with breaking two windows at the Tecla Gem Company, Ltd, Old Bond Street, Miss Margaret Macfarlane sentenced to five months in the second division.

At a meeting organised by the Domestic Workers' Union of Great Britain in Trafalgar Square on Sunday, a resolution was unanimously carried, protesting against the sentence of five months imprisonment passed on Miss Margaret Macfarlane for her actions on behalf of domestic servants, and calling upon the government to release her immediately. Miss Macfarlane was sentenced on March 20, and her protest took the form of breaking windows in Bond Street.

Modern day surveillance photography started in Britain in 1913 with an unassuming prison van parked in the exercise yard of Holloway Prison. We only know the occupant of the van as Mr. Barrett, a professional photographer who had been employed by Scotland Yard to snap paparazzi-style shots of the women in the yard. His long-lens photography equipment - the purchase of which was authorised by the then Home Secretary - was rudimentary, but effective.

And who were these women Barrett was photographing? Members of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), also, and perhaps better, known as the suffragettes. Suffrage campaigns were ongoing in both Europe and the United States in the early part of the 20th century, with Finland being the first country to grant women the right to vote and stand for office in 1906.
