The Suffragette
Title:
The Suffragette
Description:
Christabel Pankhurst was the oldest daughter of Emmeline Pankhurst, the founder of the Women's Social and Political Union. In 1905, she and Annie Kenney carried out the WSPU’s first militant act when they were arrested for disrupting an election meeting. Under the direction of the Pankhursts, WSPU’s tactics became increasingly militant and violent. The Pethick-Lawrences opposed this escalation, and the Pankhursts forced them out. Christabel took over as editor of Votes for Women and changed the newspaper’s name to The Suffragette.
