“Quando Evelyn Manesta, una delle suffragette di Manchester, si rifiutò di posare per una foto, una guardia la trattenne a forza davanti alla macchina fotografica.

Ma quando la fotografia di Evelyn Manesta è comparsa, il braccio era stato rimosso. Il fotografo aveva seguito le istruzioni ufficiali: aggiustare la fotografia in modo che fosse meno discutibile.”

The suffragettes, founded in October 1903, forced a social revolution to give women the vote. Photographs uncovered by the National Archives reveal hidden secrets of how the state spied on what it regarded as a terrorist threat. This first picture shows a suffragette caught in a confrontation with opponents and the police.
