- More about Christabel Pankhurst: A Biography
Christabel Pankhurst was a key figure in the women's suffrage movement, co-leading the WSPU with her mother, Emmeline. She graduated in law and used her oratory skills to inspire thousands of women to become suffragettes and demand their democratic citizenship rights. She advocated for militant, unladylike tactics and encouraged women to engage in war work to win their enfranchisement. Despite her unsuccessful election to parliament, she is mainly remembered for her role in the militant wing of the movement. This biography, based on previously untapped primary sources, places her within a network of supportive female friendships.

Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst, together with her mother, founded the single-sex Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in 1903, which quickly became the most notorious of the groups advocating for women's parliamentary voting rights. Christabel, a First Class Honours Graduate in Law, was a determined and charismatic orator who revitalized the women's suffrage campaign by inspiring thousands of women to become suffragettes, as WSPU members were called. She was a supreme tactician who advocated for 'militant, unladylike tactics' that shocked many people and the political establishment. When the war broke out in 1914, she encouraged women to engage in war work as a way to win their enfranchisement. Four years later, when enfranchisement was granted to certain categories of women aged thirty and over, she stood unsuccessfully for election to parliament as a member of the Women's Party.
In 1940, she moved to the USA with her adopted daughter and had a successful career there as a Second Adventist preacher and writer. However, she is mainly remembered for being the driving force behind the militant wing of the women's suffrage movement. This full-length biography, the first for forty years, draws upon feminist approaches to biography writing to place her within a network of supportive female friendships. It is based upon an unparalleled range of previously untapped primary sources.
