Silver hunger-strike medal presented to the Suffragette prisoner Lady Constance Lytton, October 1909. The medal refers to Constance's second term of imprisonment when she was sentenced to one month for throwing a stone at a car she thought was carrying Lloyd George. On arrival in prison she immediately took part in the hunger strike but was quickly released due to her heart condition. Lady Constance's shame at being given preferential treatment in prison due to her family connections led to her adopting the disguise of Jane Warton, a working-class woman, when rearrested in 1910.
