English suffragettes--officers in the WSPU--Beatrice Helen Saunders was the financial secretary in the London office, and Harriet Roberta Kerr (1859-1940) was the Secretary. They were arrested together under the "Cat and Mouse Act" in Fall of 1913.
Barbara (LOC P&P) said:
Thanks for the information (and correct spelling of Harriet Kerr's name!). It's helpful to know what likely made the photo newsworthy for the Bain News Service. We'll adjust the description when we update the record.

So who do we think Boater is? A sympathiser? A journo?

from Wikipedia DBE (22 September 1880 – 13 February 1958) was a suffragette born in Manchester, England. A co-founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), she directed its militant actions from exile in France from 1912 to 1913. In 1914 she became a fervent supporter of the war against Germany. After the war she moved to the United States, where she worked as an evangelist for the Second Adventist movement.

The photograph appears to have been taken in Paris, in front of the Hotel Bernaud, which had electric lights, telephones, baths and a restaurant.
