ADELA PANKHURST ARREST

A newspaper article describing the demonstration led by Adela Pankhurst and two other women into the chambers of Parliament House.

 

This artefact was included within the exhibit as it reports on the events of Adela Pankhurst's arrest at Parliament House in a positive tone, describing the demonstration as "She was doing her duty". By providing two conflicting opinionated articles of what had occurred during the arrest, this creates a more balanced representation of what had occurred.
