| Evidence: | 'Dora Montefiore, sent to Holloway [as suffragette] in October 1906, recalls the decor of her cell: "On the shelf were a Bible, a wooden spoon, a salt cellar, and one other book whose name I forget, but I remember glancing into it and thinking it would appeal to the intelligence of a child of eight".' |
