SUFFRAGETTES BEING ARRESTED







During their 7-month prison term at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia, conditions were deplorable. One woman in jail at the time, described one horrific night in 1917, which was later called the Night of Terror.


“.. as many as forty guards with clubs went on a rampage, brutalizing thirty-three jailed suffragists. They beat Lucy Burns, chained her hands to the cell bars above her head, and left her there for the night. They hurled Dora Lewis into a dark cell, smashed her head against an iron bed, and knocked her out cold… According to affidavits, other women were grabbed, dragged, beaten, choked, slammed, pinched, twisted, and kicked.”
