1918 election[edit]

In this edit, I have expanded the section on the 1918 election to include details of Christabel's candidacy in Smethwick, and removed the comment about a candidacy in Westmister.

The best source I have on elections in that period is Craig (Craig, F. W. S. (1983) [1969]. British parliamentary election results 1918-1949 (3rd edition ed.). Chichester: Parliamentary Research Services. ISBN 0-900178-06-X. {{cite book}}: |edition= has extra text (help); Cite has empty unknown parameter: |origdate= (help)), which does not list her at any time as a candidate in either of the two Westminster constituencies: Abbey and Westminster St George's. (There was a [by-election]] in St Georges earlier in 1918, but the Conservative candidate was returned unopposed).

See also notes at Talk:Women's Party (UK)#Election_in_1919.3F.3F.3F, where there had been a reference to a 1919 election. --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 15:25, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aha! http://www.britainunlimited.com/Biogs/PankhurstC.htm says "1919: Becomes the prospective parliamentary candidate for Westminster Abbey Division but the campaign comes to nothing."

However, there was no election there is 1919, but there was a by-election in 1921 following the death of the Conservative MP William Burdett-Coutts. --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 15:45, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Voice recording[edit]

I found a page with a voice recording by Christabel Pankhurst, while browsing the British Library site. The audio clip isn't linked or referenced by the article as far as I can see from a brief look. Someone ~~more~~ familiar with the article may want to add it in, if they consider it relevant. The page reads "...In 1908 Christabel Pankhurst was sentenced to a period in Holloway prison and this recording is said to have been made a few hours after her release."
The page also has a transcript of the recording, which ends: "We are resolved that 1909 must, and shall, see the political enfranchisement of British women." Link: Christabel Harriette Pankhurst British Library Online Gallery - Online exhibitions (Voices of history). In case the page is later removed (e.g. a short-lived online exhibition), I'd think the audio would come up in an British Library Sound Archive catalogue search.

Daughter?[edit]

'While in California, she adopted her daughter Betty...' Why was she allowed to adopt, unless she was married? 86.171.217.68 (talk) 17:34, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why would she need to be married? From https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/blue-plaques/emmeline-christabel-pankhurst/

"The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 led to a political truce in the suffrage movement and an end to the period of militancy. Emmeline turned her skills to supporting the war effort and in 1915 she adopted four ‘war babies’, children born out of wedlock as a result of the social upheaval. In 1916 she rented and furnished a new home at 50 Clarendon Road, Holland Park, where she lived with the children, one of whom Christabel later adopted. In 1917, Emmeline opened a nursery and adoption home for female orphans in Aubrey Road, close by. Number 50 – a mid-19th-century semi-detached house – was her home from 1916 until autumn 1919, when she left for Canada. Christabel stayed here with her mother for periods between 1917 and 1919." 86.143.130.200 (talk) 02:21, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contradicts the White Feather article[edit]

This article has a section entitled 'White feathers' which states:

Her supporters handed the white feather to every young man they encountered wearing civilian dress.

But the 'World War I' section in the White Feather article article states:

Despite Sylvia Pankhurst's assertion to the contrary in her 1931 memoir "The Suffragette Movement", while Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst did both support conscription, there is no documentary evidence linking either of them to the White Feather campaign.

Both claims are unsourced, and the latter appears to imply that the former is an urban myth. Is anybody aware of any sources that would clarify this? Eggybacon (talk) 05:47, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
