During the movement (after 1910), women would break windows to protest voting restrictions. Many of them used a small toffee hammer that they kept hidden inside their muffs and inside special discrete pockets they had sewn into their skirts. They would also use such pockets to hide rocks to throw at policemen.

However (and this is most relevant here), this failed to achieve their goals, and in fact alienated public support for their cause, setting the movement back considerably.

Quite: it's frustrating that in courts of law we have to undertake to tell "...the whole truth and nothing but the truth" -and yet officials of the court seem to be intent on preventing that.
