The source is a recording of a 1960 interview with Lilian Lenton which is in the London Museum (or was when I listened to it). You can also hear her speak on the BBC Archive http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/suffragettes/ Lucienne Boycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503065710057233256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663666800718527751.post-89428731133299606742018-08-06T11:29:54.831+01:002018-08-06T11:29:54.831+01:00I am so sorry I missed this comment, I hope you ge...I am so sorry I missed this comment, I hope you get this reply. The source for the Macclesfield incident - a bomb hoax at the railway station - is The Guardian 16 May 1913.

I came across this quotation above: <br />'Some suffragettes recognised the danger – Lillian Lenton amongst them. She said, “the rule was that we must risk no one’s lives but our own, and if you take a bomb somewhere, however great the precautions you take to see that it doesn’t damage anybody but yourself, you can’t be quite one hundred per cent sure. So I didn’t really approve of the bombs.” Even so, Lillian Lenton once told a magistrate that it was her goal to burn two houses a week.'<br /><br />Would it be at all possible for you to tell me the source from which you found Lilian's quotation, and even perhaps recommendations of very useful sources about her or with things she said? I apologise for bothering you but would be so grateful if you could help me as soon as possible.<br /><br />Best wishes <br />Helena KornerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964281634377975992noreply@blogger.com
