The handkerchief above was about to be burnt after a jumble sale in the 1970s. All the signatures were from suffragette prisoners in Holloway in 1912, some were hunger strikers and some forcibly fed.
Denise Jones is a student at UCA Farnham researching suffragette embroideries made in prison and is calling for other examples of work. Do you recognise any of the names in these signatures?

Hello, thank you for posting this image, could you indicate where I might find out more images, information on this period of embroidery, regarding suffragettes. Thank you
