Her later journalistic writings promoted women's right to vote and denounced prison conditions for jailed suffragettes. This memoir was written about 10 years into her career, when she was better known but was not financially secure.Her public-facing accounts of her "undercover" work are related in Campaigns of Curiosity - Summary by TriciaG and Wikipedia
