LifeBrailsford was born in Elderslie in 1874 who was educated at the University of Glasgow, and later Somerville College, Oxford.[1] Henry Brailsford, one of her tutors at the University of Glasgow pestered her to marry him on her return from Somerville, and after some reluctance she agreed. The marriage began with a trip to Crete Brailsford had work there as a correspondent for the Manchester Guardian. Her marriage was unhappy and some say unconsummated. Bertrand Russell considered that she had made the lack of consummation a condition of the marriage because she was obsessed by another of her University of Glasgow tutors, Gilbert Murray. However Murray was married and had rejected her , whereas her new husband had a new and successful career before him in Crete.[1] Brailsfor could not find any success at either painting or acting. She regarded her marriage as a burden, but she found success when she joined the Women's Social and Political Union in 1909.[1] On 24 September the suffragettes were alarmed to find that the government had started to force feed suffragettes who were in jail on hunger strike. Jane's husband resigned from the Daily News in protest and on 9 October the suffragettes prepared for Lloyd George to visit Newcastle.[2] On 8 October she was amongst 12 who agreed to demonstrate including Constance Lytton, Annie Kenney, Kitty Marion and Emily Davison.[5] Brailsford was arrested for wielding an axe at a barricade put up to control their demonstration in Newcastle. She was released after just three days in prison and this is thought to her being the wife of a well known journalist. Undeterred she was rearrested for a similar offence on 21 November. She had a need to be seen in high-profile acts and these continued until 1912.[1] Meanwhile, Henry was a founding member of the recently formed Men's League For Women's Suffrage and in 1910 he had persuaded Millicent Fawcett that he should intercede to see if he could negotiate a settlement between the politicians and the suffragists.[3] In October 1912 her arguments with her husband over her and the WSPU's militant struggle rose to a head as Frederick and Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence were forced to leave the WSPU. Brailsford resigned too in protest. Brailsford broke down at this point and for the much of the rest of her life she suffered from alcoholism.[1] Her husband found a new partner but Brailsford refused him a divorce. Brailsford died in Chiswick in 1937 from cirrhosis of the liver.[4] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=http://spartacus-educational.com/Wbrailsford.htm|title=Jane Brailsford|work=Spartacus Educational|access-date=11 November 2017|language=en}} {{Women's suffrage in Scotland}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Brailsford, Jane Esdon}}2. ^{{cite book|author=Jane Marcus|title=Suffrage and the Pankhursts|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MzUMR4Sl1zEC&pg=PA309|date=15 April 2013|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-135-03397-2|pages=309–}} 3. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://spartacus-educational.com/WpankhurstC.htm|title=Christabel Pankhurst|work=Spartacus Educational|access-date=23 November 2017|language=en}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 F.
