Protest, Action and Hunger Strike

The transcript describes a series of events in the women's suffrage movement, starting with a massive rally in Hyde Park where 500,000 activists demanded voting rights. Despite their efforts, the government ignored them. Subsequent protests in Parliament Square led to police intervention. Edith and Marilee's act of throwing rocks at 10 Downing Street resulted in their imprisonment. Marion Wallace's hunger strike in prison drew public attention and sympathy, leading to more women joining the strike. The government's response of forced feeding the strikers caused significant embarrassment.
