Police 'mug shot' photographs of the suffragette Mrs Beatrice Sanders. Sanders held the office of Treasurer (Financial Secretary) of the Women's Social & Political Union for which she received a weekly salary. She was arrested and imprisoned 3 times for Suffragette militancy in 1907, 1910 and 1913. This police photograph would have been taken at one of her arrests. In February 1907 she was sentenced to 14 days imprisonment for taking part in the deputation from the first Women's Parliament in Caxton Hall to the House of Commons. In November 1910 she was sentenced to 1 month in Holloway for taking part in a stone-throwing raid in protest against the treatment of women on Black Friday. Sanders' final prison term in Holloway in 1913 was a 15 month sentence when, alongside other members of the WSPU administration, she was convicted of conspiring to commit damage to a property and inciting others to do so.
