A lithograph in plain, bold color, this poster's headline urges readers to "Vote against the government" over the words "Torturing women in prison." It was issued by the Women's Social and Political Union, the militant suffrage group, during the 1900s, when imprisoned suffragettes went on hunger strikes and were forcibly fed. The poster turned those prison conditions into a political argument, asking voters to hold the Liberal government responsible for how women activists were treated. Its message reflects the campaign's wider aim of winning the vote through public pressure.
