Throughout the suffrage movement women had to endure a lot of punishments. The most widely recognized punishment occurred after they picketed the White House in 1917, which they were sent to jail for participating. During the time that they were in jail they decided to go on hunger strikes. After extreme hunger the government decided to force feed them by prying open their jaws and shoving food down their throats. Sometimes the government would release a women who had a serious health problem and then throw her back in jail once she improved her health condition.
