[Women's Rights] F.W. Pethick Lawrence. "Is the English Law Unjust to Women?" The Women's Social and Political Union. No. 55. No date, c. 1912. 2 pages (1 sheet). 10 x 7.5 inches. "The following statement with regard to the position of women under the law provides a complete answer to the assertion frequently made b Anti-Suffragists that 'women have no grievances.'" The essay lists the many ways in which women and girls are mistreated throughout their lives: socially, educationally, economically, and legally. "Finally, women, though fulfilling all the duties of citizenship, are debarred from the parliamentary franchise solely on the ground of sex." Frederick Pethick-Lawrence and his wife Emmeline were members of the WSPU from 1907 until 1912. The WSPU was the most radical suffrage activist group in the UK and was known for its militant (and sometimes violent) tactics.
