The duplicating office, Clement's Inn, The Strand, September 1911. Thousands of consciousness-raising propaganda handbills were duplicated in this room and sold cheaply to WSPU members, who then gave them away on the street, outside railway stations, and after football and cricket matches. By the end of 1910, the salaried staff of the WSPU numbered only 110 nationwide, an indication of how the backbone of the army of workers who took part in the campaign were volunteers, like the young women featured in this photograph.
