Description:

Single sheet letter from Emmeline Pankhurst to Charles Prestwich Scott referring to his letter which, were it not for her faith in women’s courage, would make her despair. Although he understands the women’s movement, he still says that nothing can be done until the Constitutional Crisis is settled. She knows that other matters will always take precedence; it is up to women to force the issue. She asks how many more women must die before he says ‘the time is now’. She looks with foreboding to this coming year; and expresses concern about the current Home Secretary, Winston Churchill. As the opening of Parliament draws near, she urges prompt action to promote the [Conciliation] Bill. She states that the duty of women is clear, and that they must go on regardless of the danger. Written from a hotel in Lincoln Inn Fields, London.
