"This silver brooch was awarded to suffragettes who had been jailed in Holloway Prison. It is designed in the shape of a portcullis (representing the House of Commons), with prisoner’s chains on either side. In the center is an arrow enamelled the three colors of the suffragette movement: white for purity, green for hope, and purple for dignity. The arrow shape refers to arrow-like markings that decorated prison uniforms of the time."

"Her real name is unknown, but her claim to fame was that she could wipe her blind eye with her tongue, a trick she would perform in exchange for a tankard of beer. She was portrayed from the life by the mezzotint artist John Faber (c.1660-1721), from whose portrait many copies flowed as people took away mementoes of her unusual feat of contortion."
