Jane Esdon Brailsford

[2] Bertrand Russell considered that she had made the lack of consummation a condition of the marriage because she was obsessed by another of her University of Glasgow tutors, Gilbert Murray.

Jane's husband resigned from The Daily News in protest and on 9 October the suffragettes prepared for Lloyd George to visit Newcastle.

[2] She was released after just spending three days of her one-month sentence in prison [2] and this is thought to her being the wife of a well-known journalist, which annoyed her as she had hoped her imprisonment would have more influence on Liberal opinion.

[1] Brailsford took one of the 150 platforms at the Hyde Park rally in 1910, of 10,000 women along with leading suffragettes and Henry Nevinson, a close friend.

[2] Her husband Henry and Nevinson were founding members of the new Men's League For Women's Suffrage and in 1910 he had persuaded Millicent Fawcett that he should intercede to see if he could negotiate a settlement between the politicians and the suffragists.
