Annie Kenney
Oldham-born Annie Kenney https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Kenney was the only working class woman to hold a senior position in the Women's Social and Political Union. Kenney started work in a cotton mill in 1889 at the age of 10, remaining at the mill for 15 years and becoming involved in trade-union activities before joining the WSPU. She attracted the attention of the press and public in 1905 when she and Christabel Pankhurst were imprisoned for several days for assault and obstruction, after heckling Sir Edward Grey at a Liberal rally in Manchester. It was seen as a pivotal moment in the campaign for the vote when the suffragettes moved towards more radical, direct protest. Kenney was imprisoned 13 times and took part in hunger strikes.
This striking, bronze relief portrait shows Annie dressed in her mill workers shawl with mills in the background. It is on display in the “Oldham Stories” section at Gallery Oldham Image], about 250 yards from her statue outside the town hall in Parliament Square (Image]).
