Women seeking the right to vote published the cookbooks both to raise funds for their cause — and as a strategic rebuttal to those who painted them as neglectful mothers and kitchen-hating harridans.
Almost 100 years ago, American women won the right to vote. But not before they were ridiculed and vilified.
As hundreds of suffragettes were held in prison in the early 20th century after being arrested for wanting to vote, many went on hunger strike. Fearing these women would become martyrs, prison guards started force-feeding them to keep them alive – strapping them down and jamming tubes painfully up their noses to do it, causing them long term physical damage. Eventually, authorities passed the "Cat and Mouse Act" in 1913 a law that allowed them to set hunger-striking suffragettes free and arrest them the second they had eaten a morsel of food - leading to more being held in prison.

El Reino Unido conmemora la lucha de las sufragistas.
Times are a-changing and nowadays it is easy to take our ability to vote for granted. However, it's really not that long ago since our grandmothers and great-grandmothers had to go through some serious abuse to win that right. Just a century ago, suffrage was a highly divisive and controversial issue in Western society.
She led the struggle for equal votes for women and was repeatedly imprisoned for using violent tactics - but how much do you know about Emmeline Pankhurst?
These unbelievable vintage postcards from the early 1900s were used as propaganda by men to stop women from having more rights. Although The Suffragettes campaigned tirelessly to change the status quo of the day, many men found the idea of women's rights not only disagreeable but even downright dangerous.
Broad Arrows by Becky Brown Emmeline Pankhurst arrested in 1914 The British WSPU made good use of the idea of repeated arrests for civil disobedience. Prison was not a deterrent to women who used images of jailed ladies for shock value, hoping to wear down Parliament's anti-suffrage stance. Women's Social and Political Union founders Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst in prison garb Prison was a horrible experience for well-bred women: the food, confinement, hygiene, abuse and---to hear it from some---the wardrobe. British prisoners were identified (not by stripes as in the U.S.) but by "broad arrows" a triple line stitched or painted on their coarse clothing. A photo of a prisoner in a cell in Holloway Women's Prison? ---most of the photos of prison garb were made outside jail. Jailers knew the value of propaganda photographs. Cameras were not permitted inside. The Broad Arrow became a badge of honor worn by women who'd endured imprisonment. Pankhursts and the WSPU marching with Broad Arrows on staffs Artist Sylvia Pankhurst designed a brooch, a literal badge of honor for ex-prisoners, by backing a broad arrow enameled in purple, green and white with a portcullis, the medieval gate that is the traditional symbol of Parliament. That symbol became important enough that she featured it on the cover of her history of the movement The Suffragette. It remains a symbol of the WSPU, here on the historical marker for the London offices. Broad Arrows by Becky Brown You can see a similar Broad Arrow in a patchwork design first published in Farm Journal about 1940. The magazine showed four blocks together creating a tessellated all-over design. BlockBase #1439 shows four blocks rotated. #1392 Double T is close to the block here, as is #1394 Cactus Flower. If you want to re-size look at both of those so you get all three patches. Cutting an 8" Finished Block (12" in Red) A - Cut 3 squares 3-1/8" (3-3/16" if you use BlockBase's 1/16" inch default). (4-1/2") B - Cut 2 squares 3-1/2". (4-7/8") Cut each in half diagonally to make 2 triangles. You need 4 triangles. C - Cut 1 square 5-7/8" (5-13/16") (8-1/2") Broad Arrows by Georgann Eglinski Broad Arrows by Dustin Cecil
