Lena Connell

The photography business made his daughters Dora and Alina into photographer's assistants and Adelina/Lena's career path was decided.

[7] Connell took pictures of leading members of the Women's Freedom League as well as Emmeline Pankhurst and other suffrage leaders.

Photographs of leading suffragettes were made into postcards and copies were sold to supporters as a method of raising funds.

[2] Connell was a member of the WSPU in Hampstead and she collaborated with Cicely Hamilton on Edith Craig's production of her iconic play "A Pageant of Women" by the Pioneer Players.

Connell's resulting portraits of the leading producers and players, Ellen Terry, Christopher St John, Hamilton and Craig, were exhibited at the Royal Photographic Society in 1910/1911.

Cicely Hamilton was a leading campaigner and they worked together. Photo by Connell from the 1910s
