This poem appears in Holloway Jingles, a collection of poems written by militant suffragettes serving sentences in Holloway Prison during March and April, 1912, which were compiled by a Glaswegian inmate, Nancy A. John, and subsequently published by the Glasgow branch of the W.S.P.U. (the militarist Women's Social and Political Union).  The poem is written by Katherine M. Richmond, a suffragette about whom little is known.  The poem considers the future of the woman's cause and giving 'future daughters' a ladder to freedom.  A note is included below this poem 'March 6th, 1912', presumably when the poem was written.
