Vera Wentworth (born Jessie Alice Spink; 1890 – 1957) was a British suffragette, who notably door-stepped and then assaulted the Prime Minister on two occasions.

She was incarcerated for the cause and was force fed, after which she wrote "Three Months in Holloway" Wentworth was born in 1890, to Harry Laing Spink and his wife, Rachel Amanda (née Goode).

[2] Following her release, Wentworth joined a secret spin-off group called the Young Hot Bloods, which pledged to undertake "danger duty" in the name of women’s suffrage.

On 5 September 1909 Wentworth, Kenney and Elsie Howey assaulted Prime Minister H. H. Asquith and the Home Secretary Herbert Gladstone during a golf match.

On 6 August 1913 she, with Elisabeth Freeman and Elsie McKenzie were in America to support 'Colonel' Ida Craft of the Yankee Corps on a suffrage hike[11][12] from New York to Boston, via Stamford, Norwalk, Bridgeport, Milford, New Haven, Wallingford, Meriden, New Britain, Hartford,[13] Marlboro, Waltham to Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts arriving on 30 August.
