There are few details about her birth or death but she is known for being identified as dangerous after attacking Manchester Art Gallery Life (details known)Along with Lillian Forrester and Annie Briggs she damaged several paintings in Manchester Art Gallery on 13 April 1913 and was arrested. They broke the glass and four of which were damaged by the broken glass. Forrester, Manesta and Annie Briggs waited until the gallery was closing and then proceeded to break the glass on the most valuable paintings. The three attacked the glass of thirteen paintings including The Shadow of Death, two by John Everett Millais and two by George Frederick Watts. Staff were alerted by the sound of broken glass and the three were apprehended. Four of the paintings had been damaged by the broken glass. They were bailed to appear before magistrates the next day.[1] During the subsequent court hearing she was described as a governess, aged 25. She was sentenced to one month in prison, while Forrester was sentenced to three months. During her trial Manesta made a speech to the jury in which she discussed the injustice of the law in treating men and women differently, especially with regard to the divorce law; she also stated that she was a political offender.[2][3] The attack on the paintings was part of a wave of actions by suffragettes that day, in protest after Emmeline Pankhurst had been sentenced to three years' imprisonment. Elsewhere in Manchester women had poured ink into eleven letterboxes damaging 250 letters.[2] Manesta was photographed while in prison, with a warder's arm around her neck to hold her head upright so that her face could be seen, but that arm was edited out of the image before it was printed for circulation to other art galleries to help them recognise potential troublemakers.[4][5] The National Portrait Gallery holds three copies of this doctored photograph: included in a collective "Surveillance Photograph of Militant Suffragettes", in a "Criminal Record Office memorandum, Issued 24 April 1914" along with Lillian Forrester, and as a single image.[6] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=http://manchesterartgallery.org/blog/manchester-art-gallery-outrage/|title=Manchester Art Gallery Outrage {{!}} Manchester Art Gallery|date=2016-03-08|work=Manchester Art Gallery|access-date=2018-04-30|language=en-US}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Manesta, Evelyn}}2. ^1 {{cite web|title=Manchester Art Gallery Outrage|url=http://manchesterartgallery.org/blog/manchester-art-gallery-outrage/|publisher=Manchester Art Gallery|accessdate=13 May 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Irving|first1=Sarah|title=The Suffragette Attack on Manchester Art Gallery, April 1913|url=https://radicalmanchester.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/the-suffragette-attack-on-manchester-art-gallery-april-1913/|accessdate=13 May 2018}} 4. ^{{cite news|work=The Guardian|title=Big Brother and the sisters|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/oct/10/gender.humanrights|last=Travis|first=Alan|date=9 October 2003|access-date=13 May 2018}} 5. ^{{cite news|URL=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/05/12/police-manipulated-photographs-suffragettes-vote-campaign/|title=How police manipulated photographs of the suffragettes during vote campaign |work= Telegraph|date=May 2018|access-date=13 May 2018|last=Sawer|first=Patrick}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Evelyn Manesta|url=https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp65462/evelyn-manesta|publisher=National Portrait Gallery|accessdate=13 May 2018}} 5 : 1880s births|Year of birth uncertain|Year of death missing|Suffragists|English governesses |
