Suffragette Cat and Mouse Act McKenna
Suffragette Cat and Mouse Act McKenna. Shows Reginald McKenna, Home Secretary in Asquiths government, sitting on a pedestal, labelled, Fiat Justitia (let justice be done). He introduced the Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for ill Health) Act, 1913 (which became) known as The Cat and Mouse Act. Intended to avoid forcible feeding by releasing weak prisoners who could recuperate after hunger striking, it did little to deter militant actions. A suffragette thumbs her nose at McKenna as he points to the Gaol Entrance, another leaves, smiling towards Swaggers Nursing Home. A paradise for frenzied females. Date: 1913
