Answer
Hunger strikes were another tactic used by the WSPU to gain attention for their cause. Women who were imprisoned for their activism would refuse to eat in order to protest their treatment. This tactic was often effective in getting the government's attention and resulted in the release of many of the women who were on hunger strike.
