EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Lilian Lenton, the notorious Suffragette, once again finds herself in the dock at Leeds Assizes on Wednesday, June 11, 1913. The headline in this newspaper placard reads "Miss Lenton's Reappearance." Lilian, born in 1891, was arrested in Doncaster on June 9th under the alias May Dennis. She was charged with setting fire to Westfield, a house at Balby. Despite being remanded, Lilian went on hunger strike and was eventually released, although not forcibly fed. Lilian was a notorious Suffragette, known for her daring acts of arson. In March 1912, she was imprisoned along with Olive Wharry for burning down the tea pavilion in Kew Gardens. Undeterred by her previous imprisonment, Lilian continued her activism, aiming to burn two buildings a week when not in prison. The Suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, was a pivotal moment in British history. Women's suffrage was a contentious issue, and the Suffragettes employed various tactics to bring attention to their cause. Arson was one such tactic, and Lilian Lenton was one of the most notorious Suffragettes to use this method. Despite the risks, Lilian and other Suffragettes remained committed to their cause, pushing for change and ultimately securing the right to vote for women in the UK. This photograph captures a moment in history, a moment of defiance and determination in the face of adversity.
