Description
Alice Paul engaged in hunger strikes when imprisoned for agitating for Women's suffrage in England. This article describes the process and her reaction. "When the forcible feeding was ordered, I was taken from my bed, carried to another room and forced into a chair, bound with sheets(?) and sat upon bodily by a fat murderer who's duty it was to keep me still. Then the prison doctor, assisted by two female attendants, placed a rubber tube up my nostrils and pumped liquid food through it into the stomach. Twice a day for a month, November 1, to December 1, this was done." Cited from the article, starting at the second column, seventh line.
