Best Answer

It is difficult to say, since women in a number of countries were fighting for the right to vote and many found that the government took a dim view of their efforts. For example, in England, Christabel Pankhurst (daughter of feminist leader Emmeline Pankhurst) and Annie Kenney were both imprisoned as early as October 1905. In the US, one of the first to be imprisoned was Alice Paul, in November 1909. Later, in 1917, the US government imprisoned sixteen women (including Alice Paul and Lucy Burns); other women continued to protest, and the number arrested and sent to the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia rose to more than 100.
