Para los que siempren me preguntan de donde cheles mi mami sacó mi nombre, fue de:
Christabel Pankhurst, the eldest daughter of Dr. Richard Pankhurst and Emmeline Pankhurst, was born in Manchester in 1880. Christabel attended Manchester High School and although she did well in her studies her main ambition was to be a dancer.
Richard Pankhurst, a radical lawyer, was one of the Independent Labour Party candidates in Manchester, who had been defeated in the 1895 General Election. Christabel's father died of a perforated ulcer in 1898 but his wife and daughters remained active in politics.
In 1901 Christabel met Eva Gore-Booth who was trying to persuade working class women in Manchester to join the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS).
Christabel was very impressed with their arguments and decided to join the campaign. Christabel's sister Sylvia Pankhurst, and her mother Emmeline Pankhurst, also became involved in the suffrage movement at this time.
The Pankhursts became frustrated by the NUWSS lack of success and in 1903 the three women formed the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). As well as her involvement in the WSPU, Christabel was also studying for a law degree at Owens College, Manchester.
In 1905 Christabel and Annie Kenney attempted to disrupt a Liberal Party meeting. In order to gain publicity for their cause, the couple deliberately got arrested and then went to prison rather than pay the fine. The action worked and the WSPU obtained a dramatic increase in its membership.
Christabel obtained her degree in 1907 but her gender prevented her from developing a career as a barrister. Christabel decided to leave Manchester and join the suffragette campaign in London. Christabel disagreed with the way the campaign was being run. The initial strategy of the WSPU had been to recruit the support of working class women. Christabel advocated a campaign that would appeal to the more prosperous members of society. Whereas Sylvia Pankhurst and Charlotte Despard argued for the vote for all adults, Christabel favoured limited suffrage, a system that would only give the vote to women with money and property. Christabel pointed out that the WSPU relied heavily on the money supplied by wealthy women.
By force of personality and the support of her mother, Christabel gained control of the WSPU in London. Charlotte Despard and Teresa Billington-Greig left the WSPU to form the Women's Freedom League. Sylvia Pankhurst, a socialist, was also stronger opposed to a limited suffrage, however, she remained in the WSPU out of loyalty to her mother and sister, but she was no longer willing to play a prominent role in the organisation.
In 1910 Christabel began to support those members of the WSPU who were arguing that the strategy of passive resistance should be replaced by more militant action such as stone-throwing and the destruction of property. When the wholesale smashing of shop windows took place in 1912, the police began arresting the leaders of the WSPU. Christabel fled to France where she continued to organise the increasingly militant campaign without fear of imprisonment.
On 4th August, 1914, England declared war on Germany. Two days later the NUWSS announced that it was suspending all political activity until the war was over. The leadership of the WSPU began negotiating with the British government. On the 10th August the government announced it was releasing all suffragettes from prison. In return, the WSPU agreed to end their militant activities and help the war effort.
After receiving a £2,000 grant from the government, the WSPU organised a demonstration in London. Members carried banners with slogans such as 'We Demand the Right to Serve', 'For Men Must Fight and Women Must work' and 'Let None Be Kaiser's Cat's Paws'. At the meeting, attended by 30,000 people, Emmeline Pankhurst called on trade unions to let women work in those industries traditionally dominated by men.
In October 1915, The WSPU changed its newspaper's name from The Suffragette to Britannia. Emmeline's patriotic view of the war was reflected in the paper's new slogan: "For King, For Country, for Freedom'. In the newspaper anti-war activists such as Ramsay MacDonald were attacked as being "more German than the Germans". Another article on the Union of Democratic Control carried the headline: "Norman Angell: Is He Working for Germany?" Mary Macarthur and Margaret Bondfield were described as "Bolshevik women trade union leaders" and Arthur Henderson, who was in favour of a negotiated peace with Germany, was accused of being in the pay of the Central Powers.
The Britannia also attacked politicians and military leaders for not doing enough to win the war. In one article, Christabel accused Sir William Robertson, Chief of Imperial General Staff, of being "the tool and accomplice of the traitors, Grey, Asquith and Cecil".
In 1917 Christabel and her mother formed the Women's Party. Its twelve-point programme included: (1) A fight to the finish with Germany. (2) More vigorous war measures to include drastic food rationing, more communal kitchens to reduce waste, and the closing down of nonessential industries to release labour for work on the land and in the factories. (3) A clean sweep of all officials of enemy blood or connections from Government departments. Stringent peace terms to include the dismemberment of the Hapsburg Empire."
The Women's Party also supported: "equal pay for equal work, equal marriage and divorce laws, the same rights over children for both parents, equality of rights and opportunities in public service, and a system of maternity benefits." Christabel and Emmeline had now completely abandoned their earlier socialist beliefs and advocated policies such as the abolition of the trade unions.
After the passing of the Qualification of Women Act in 1918, Christabel became one of the seventeen women candidates that stood in the post-war election. Christabel represented the Women's Party in both the 1918 and 1919 elections but was defeated both times.
In 1921 Christabel went to live in the United States where she became a prominent member of Second Adventist movement. Christabel lectured and wrote books on the Second Coming. Christabel returned to Britain in the 1930s but left for the USA at the start of the Second World War. Christabel Pankhurst died in the USA in 1958.
