"In 1912 Sarah Benett, aged 52, and 54-year-old composer Ethel Smyth shared neighbouring cells in Holloway Prison. Their crime was breaking windows - a tactic used by suffragettes to draw attention to their fight to win votes for all women. Sarah Benett's recently discovered diary sheds light on their remarkable tale". (Radio Times, 21/5-27/5/1994)
