Description:
|
Two sheet letter from Christabel Pankhurst to Charles Prestwich Scott regarding Winston Churchill receiving a deputation from the Manchester Liberal Federation, of which she believes Scott will be a member, on the subject of electoral reform. She hopes that he will not forget female suffrage and makes the point that the women’s position ought to be made secure before the Reform Bill is introduced. At present the government refuses to take any responsibility and so ‘Is it any wonder that we continue to use militant methods?’ They [the WSPU] are looking forward to another by-election, where they can attack the enemy; they hope to show the government that whatever else they do, they cannot win by-elections unless they give votes to women. She says that they have succeeded in stimulating the government to do more in the direction of reform, and that Liberals should be grateful for this indirect result of militant policy. . The letter is on headed paper from the National Women's Social and Political Union
