Mabel Capper and Patricia Woodlock advertising a 'monster' meeting to be held in Heaton Park, Manchester, Lancashire, on 19th July 1908. Mabel Capper (left), aged twenty, was a local woman, 'who had taken part in by-elections and had several amusing encounters with Cabinet Ministers.' By 1913 she had been to prison four times in the cause of obtaining the vote for women. Her friend Patricia Woodlock was a leading light of the Liverpool branch of the Women's Social and Political Union, and also 'a great trial to Cabinet Ministers'.
