However, as she discovers government bigotry and intransigence and realizes that her family name has no influence in helping the movement her attitude changes. She is arrested and imprisoned after a demonstration but finds that her title gives her privileges denied other convicts and consequently adopts the name Jane Warton for further campaigns. As a result she is subjected to the barbarities of force-feeding and, whilst she survives long enough to see female enfranchisement, her prison experiences exacerbate her heart condition, subjecting her to life as an invalid.
