Johnny Cyprus - Suffragette Mabel Capper outside of Bow Street Court after arrest - 1912.
Mabel Henrietta Capper 1888-1966 Mabel Capper gave all her time between 1907 and 1913 to the Women’s Social and Political Union and was imprisoned a total of six times. She went on hunger strike and was one of the first Suffragettes to be force-fed. Mabel took part in various forms of acts of sabotage including disruption of political meetings and polling stations, window breaking and an attempt in Dublin to target Prime Minister Asquith with a bomb. Mabel worked as the first female journalist for ‘The Examiner’ (a Warrington newspaper) and, in her journalism, actively engaged in fighting her cause for women in local newspapers – including the ‘Manchester Guardian’. Mabel hosted a play, ‘The Betrothal of Number 13’, at the Royal Court Theatre, London, the subject matter being the stigma imposed by imprisonment. She served as a nurse with the Red Cross during the First World War. Mabel was profusely politically active in fighting for the vote for women, and it is without doubt that her activities raised the profile of this cause - From Suffrage to Citizenship
