Suffragette. Janie Terrero is recognized as an English militant suffragette, who was imprisoned and had to be force-fed twice during prison hunger strikes. For this, she received the WSPU's Hunger Strike Medal. She would later write that the force-feeding was a means to be tortured. She married Máximo Manuel Juan Nepomuceno Terrero y Ortiz de Rosas, the grandson of Argentina ruler, General Juan Manuel de Rosas. In 1852 General Rosas and his family fled their South American homeland into exile in England. Her husband, Manuel, supported her political agenda for the right to vote, by being a member of the Men's Political Union For Women's Enfranchisement. From age 18, she was a member of the Women's Social and Political Union, a women-only political movement from 1903 to 1918. She had WSPU meetings in her parlor from 1905 to 1907. As a militant protester, she was among the women who threw rocks through windows of businesses in March of 1912 after the Conciliation Bill was read in Parliament. Although proposed and read in Parliament in three different years, the bill failed to pass. The Conciliation Bill was a bill that would give women who owned property as well as some married women the right to vote in England. She was among the 200 women who were arrested for protesting. She was charged with destroying property and sentenced to four months at Holloway Prison, where she participated in hunger strikes. After being arrested in March, she was force-fed in April and June. A prison doctor called an end to the force-feeding, presumably because it was badly affecting her health, and she was released a few days before the end of her sentence. While in prison, sixty-six signatures, including Terrero's, and two sets of initials were embroidered on a handkerchief. "The Suffragette Handkerchief," as it has been called, is displayed at The Priest House in West Sussex. Her extensive written notes concerning her treatment in Holloway Prison are archived in the Suffragette Fellowship Collection in the Museum of London. She was one of the fifteen women, who received the Hunger Strike Medal. Although not as active, she became the Honorary Secretary of Pinner WSPU in 1913. English women received the right to vote in 1918.
