She was imprisoned and went on hunger strike until her mother paid her fine and she was released a week later. She was arrested a few more times, but was next put in prison for breaking a window on 'Black Friday' in November 1910. She served one month. She was a hard worker and organiser, and a good speaker on public platforms.
