As Temma Kaplan's Analysis: A Streetcar Named Desire

without any reason, she did this on purpose to scare the government and also to make them pay for the decisions they had made. To conclude about the kind of the actions, which were done by Lytton, we can add what Janet Lyon remembers in her essay “As Temma Kaplan writes, “the street became the stage for this conflict”.” (Lyon, 1994-1995). This quotation shows that jail and streets were the places used by the Suffragettes to fight. They both had equal importance. But what is surprising about all of this, is the fact that Lytton was first reluctant to join the movement because she did not want to take part into the violent actions of the WSPU. But she finally changed her mind, as she wrote in her book, “Women had tried repeatedly, and always

But even if, her health did not allow her to participate physically in the movement for the right for women, she still continued to bring her contribution to it, as she wrote her novel “Prisons and Prisoners” with her left hand in 1914, as the right side of her body was paralysed, and she also wrote pamphlets for the WSPU. Finally before her death, she also contributed to a campaign for birth
