Katherine Broadhurst

Katherine Broadhurst, known as Kitty, was arrested on 22 November 1911. 

Born in November 1868 in Perth, Western Australia, Katherine was the daughter of Charles and Eliza. Charles was a remarkable man, and in 2009 he was recognised as one of Western Australia's one hundred most remarkable citizens. The Museum of Western Australia has a fascinating article on the family. http://museum.wa.gov.au/explore/broadhurst 
 
Eliza was interested in feminism and appears to have encouraged Katherine. When Charles and Eliza retired, they settled in Bournemouth,on the English south coast and Katherine moved with them. Before this, Katherine had been a member of the St George's Reading Circle, later called the Karrakatta Club, which championed women's rights. Charles and Eliza named their Bournemouth home, Karrakatta. Eliza died in 1899, and father and daughter after that continued to live together, Charles dying in 1911.  
 
A few months later, the record states Kitty was arrested for breaking windows at Charing Cross to the value of £10. She was sentenced to 7 days. 
 
Kitty died in 1923. ​
