Suffragette Arson at Kew Gardens: A Defiant Act of Protest for Women's Rights This haunting image captures the aftermath of an audacious arson attack on the Tea Pavilion in Kew Gardens, carried out by two determined suffragettes, Olive Wharry and Lilian Lenton, in the early hours of February 20, 1913. The ghostly remains of the pavilion, now blackened and charred, stand as a stark reminder of their defiant act of protest for women's suffrage. The suffragette movement, fueled by the desire for women's right to vote, had been escalating in intensity and militancy since the turn of the century. Wharry and Lenton, both committed activists, saw arson as a powerful means to draw attention to their cause and force the government's hand. In the dead of night, they set fire to the Tea Pavilion, causing extensive damage. The women were swiftly apprehended and brought to trial. Convicted of their actions, they were sentenced to serve time in Holloway Prison. The authorities responded with brutal force, forcibly feeding them in an attempt to break their will. This historic photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave women in their fight for women's rights. Their actions, though destructive, helped bring about the passage of the Representation of the People Act in 1918, which granted some women the right to vote for the first time in British history. This image serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment and the indelible impact of their activism.
