The Woman's Press, No 156 Charing Cross Road, London, September 1911. Packing and despatching copies of Votes for Women. The newspaper went on sale on Thursday and wholesalers like WH Smith and John Menzies sold it alongside their other dailies and weeklies. For every paper sold the WSPU reckoned it was read by three other people. Regular features included: 'Women in other Lands', about feminism and suffragism all round the world; details of the Union's processions; and fund-raising bazaars and reports of the progress of any legislation going through the Parliament which had an impact on women's lives.
