<p> </p>
<p>Dearest Jessie</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This card reminds me just a little of Notre Dame, Paris and the time you were there with me in the final, decisive phase of our campaign for the vote. Let us always be</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 2]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>thankful that we were victorious. Our bloodless war ended in real victory, unlike the bloodshedding wars between nations especially world wars I and II which have, as it were, [tried] warfare [<em>illegible words</em>]. Now the only hope for world peace and freedom is not in human effort, but in divine deliverance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I shall think of you on Christmas Day and your and my thoughts will turn to [beloved] Annie.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You miss her greatly, I know.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Warwick she has left</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 3]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>to represent her. How happy she must have been – and you also – that he has turned out so well – so much his mother’s son. Annie’s husband misses her too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The fine record she made as she passed through the world we all can be highly proud of. She fought a good fight and finished her course triumphantly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have written a Christmas letter to our dear [<em>illegible</em>] secretary of WSPU [<em>the Women’s Social and Political Union</em>] days. She is living in the Villa Maria 1 Kloof Nek Rd [<em>Road</em>] Capetown S. [<em>South</em>] Africa. She likes to hear from us</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Vertical writing inserted between Pages 2 and 3]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know. Much Christmas love and dear memories of our past Suffragette days and hope and [faith] for the future.</p>
<p> </p>

An account of the resource
Christmas card from Christabel Pankhurst to Jessie Kenney, 1954. [transcript is available below]
The front depicts a cathedral with the subtitle “Christmas Blessings” and a star with the subtitle “I am the light of the world.” John 8:12. The inside of the card reads: “On the birthday of Our Lord, May you know the joy and comfort of those who dwell safely within His abiding love.”
Christabel writes that the cathedral on the card reminds her of Notre Dame and their time in Paris during the final phase of the campaign for the vote. Christabel spent the last two years of the suffragette struggle exiled in Paris in order to evade the British authorities. During this time Annie and Grace Roe were left in charge of operations in London and Jessie worked as Christabel's secretary in Paris. Her thoughts go to Annie, who had passed away the previous year, and her son, Warwick, and husband, James. “The fine record she made as she passed through the world we can all be highly proud of. She fought a good fight and finished her course triumphantly.”

<p>Letter from Christabel Pankhurst to Jessie Kenney, 7<sup>th</sup> Feb.1936. on her receiving her D.B.E Honour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>50, Pembridge Villas, W11</p>
<p>7<sup>th</sup> Feb.1936</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dearest Jessie,</p>
<p>Your congratulations are so very welcome to me. I am pleased that you are glad about the Honour which I feel belongs to us all and to the Cause most all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is not, as in some cases, just an individual recognition. The very time and circumstances in which the Honour has been given made it more significant than it would otherwise have been.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It comes not only at the end of Jubilee Year but at the end of the reign in which our campaign was waged and our victory won. It was the very moment for it to be given. Earlier or later would have made a great difference. Mother has the statue which is the very highest honour that humanity can pay and that makes us very thankful does it not?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It will seem to me as I receive the honour from King Edward that Mother and all of you are with me. It will be a great moment in the history of the Movement that begun thirty-one years ago, with that protest at the Free Trade Hall. I shall be thinking of Annie, my fellow soldier in that first battle! It is good that Grace and now you have voyaged home at the time when our Honour comes to us. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Often do I think, Jessie dear of our times at Clements Inn and your wonderful loyal help to me in those momentous years. You played your part nobly and my loving recollection of what you did will never fade. Those were glorious years and for the hardness of them we are rewarded by seeing the greatness and completeness of our victory. What other Movement for reform has ever so completely triumphed! What a privelege [<em>privilege</em>] we have had and how rich are our memories! We know too that all the experience has wprked [<em>worked</em>] into our being something of value which can never be lost and without</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 2]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>which we should have been infinitely poorer in all that matters essentially.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you, dear, dear Jessie, for your letter and all that you did in the Cause.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With love,</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Christabel [signed]</p>

An account of the resource
Letter from Christabel Pankhurst to Jessie Kenney, 7 February 1936 on her receiving her D.B.E. Honour.
In this emotional letter, Christabel generously shares the D.B.E. Honour awarded to her with all her suffragette friends and allies. “It is not, as in some cases, just an individual recognition.” She shares feelings of pride and satisfaction at this recognition of the achievements of the militant suffragette movement, asking “what other Movement for reform has so completely triumphed!” Imagining the moment when she receives the Honour, she states, “it will be a great moment in the history of the Movement that begun thirty-one years ago, with the protest at the Free Trade Hall. I shall be thinking of Annie, my fellow soldier in that first battle!”. She ends the letter with an expression of impassioned gratitude for Jessie’s service to the Cause.

<p>My darling old Jessie</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am so very sorry about the news your letter brings but I hope you are better by now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The weather here is damp and horrid – only one gleam of sun (reported in the Daily Mail) has visited us so far.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But the Smethwick [people’s friendliness] seems</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 2]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>to make up for it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You can imagine what work it has been to get the organisation side going. 3000 absent voters to</p>
<p>circula[rise], committee [loans] hard to get [through] the political views of their landlords etc. etc. But all is smoothing out and in the next two weeks we shall [<em>illegible deletion</em>] reap</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 3]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>the fruits of all this [<em>illegible</em>] work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The [happiest] band is the [Meetings] Department.</p>
<p>Miss [<em>illegible</em>] and Maguire and Co [<em>Company</em>]. They are on familiar ground so far as the work is concerned and they are doing it well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My final meeting was last night</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 4]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and was most encouraging. No Unionist opposition and the only Labour opposition came from measly Bolsheviks and very few at that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But of course meetings are not the final test and we act accordingly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have written to Dr. S[-----] asking if it is really impossible to get the stuff mother</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 5]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>has when she is in U.S.A. [<em>United States of America</em>]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If he arranges anything I will let you know so that you may share the benefit. What you need is more</p>
<p>Bu[---] and dry [“dry” <em>underlined twice</em>] weather, for dampness is the worst thing for your troubles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have some hope</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 6]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>that Dr. [<em>illegible</em>].S. will rise to the occasion as the one thing needed on this job is plenty of “push and go”.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Annie may be interested in the enclosed cutting, do please hand to her</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With best love</p>

An account of the resource
[Transcription is available below] Letter from Christabel Pankhurst to Jessie Kenney from 29 November 1918.
Christabel writes to Jessie from the Smethwick election campaign, where Christabel was running to become an MP during the first General Election in which women had the right to vote as well as to stand as MP candidates. She writes about the horrid weather and her busy campaign life: “You can imagine what work it has been to get the organisation side going. 3000 absent voters to circula[rise]. committee [loans], hard to get [through] the political views of their landlords etc. etc.” Christabel also reports that Cynthia Maguire and other retired suffragettes were putting their organising skills to work again and doing well. She mentions that her final election meeting had taken place the night before and she found it “most encouraging.” Very few of her political opponents made objections, she tells Jessie, “No Unionist [Irish Unionist] opposition and the only Labour opposition came from measly Bolsheviks and very few at that.”

An account of the resource
Commemorative plaque unveiled in Manchester Free Trade Hall in 1960 to honour Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney for their contribution to the suffragette movement.
The tablet reads: “At an election meeting in the Old Free Trade Hall on October 13th 1905 Christabel Pankhurst of this city and Annie Kenney of Saddleworth asked whether the incoming Liberal government would give votes to women. Thrown out without answer they continued their protest outside, were arrested, and imprisoned in Strangeways Gaol. Thus was born the Suffragette Campaign which was crowned with victory in 1918.”

List of attendees from London to the plaque unveiling for Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney at the Manchester Free Trade Hall, 1960

Memorialization
Description
An account of the resource
13 October 1905 put the start of the militant suffragette campaign, spearheaded by the Christabel Pankhurst (1880-1958) and the WSPU (Women’s Social and Political Union). On this day, the Liberal party held a rally as part of their campaign for the upcoming General Election at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester. Winston Churchill was to speak, supported by Sir Edward Grey, another prospective Minister. When the time for questions from the public arrived, Annie Kenney (1879-1953) stood up and asked Mr. Churchill directly: “If you are elected, will you do your best to make Women’s Suffrage a government measure?”. Churchill refused to answer. This was the moment when the first “Votes for Women” banner was unfurled. The women were then forced out of the Hall and arrested. This was the first act of militancy. Many more followed.
Over half a century later, in 1960, Annie and Christabel's brave act was commemorated with a plaque. Retired suffragettes, friends, and family members organised themselves to attend the unveiling in one last show of friendship and unity for the suffrage cause. This list includes the names of those attending from London and travelling by train, including, Jessie Kenney (1887-1985), Charlotte Marsh (1887-1961), Lilian Lenton (1891-1972),Theresa Billington- Greig (1877-1964), and others.

<p><strong>Transcript – KP/JK/3/Pankhurst,C/11</strong></p>
<p>1, Campers Road,</p>
<p>LETCHWORTH,</p>
<p> Herts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>17th October, 1935</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My dear Christabel,</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Thank you very much for your kind and understanding letter which I received this morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> The following are a few ideas which came to my mind. They may be helpful in dissolving a certain atmosphere about Annie which has been created in the past through the wrong treatment in presenting her on the stage of the Suffrage movement. Your book, Christabel, can do so much to set this right.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> It would therefore be better not to say anything of Annie's pre-Suffrage days, but to deal with Annie as a personality when you first met her.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> I quite understand what you mean about the distinction conferred on those who overcome early difficulties etc. But the ones who get this distinction are those like the men you mention (Mussolini, Ramsay Macdonald, Lloyd George and J. H. Thomas) - men who have always worked for ambition and power, and have not cared overmuch how they attained it. The majority of people still worship temporal power and you will be forgiven much if you succeed in gaining this - not otherwise. I have noticed that if someone wishes to wound, say the film star, Greta Garbo, or try and destroy her prestige, they remind her that she worked in a barber's shop and "lathered a man". Just as Sylvia when she wants to depreciate Annie refers to her as a "<u>cotton operative</u>" and leaves it at that. The world is too materialistic as yet to appreciate the full dignity of selfless service <u>at the price</u> of health, circumstances and appearances.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> If Annie had to write her book again she would have commenced it in a totally different strain because of her family and son. Before we left the movement and for some time afterwards Annie and I were too unsophisticated to deal with the world <u>as it is</u> - being babes in <u>worldly</u> wisdom. We have learnt much and</p>
<p> </p>
<p> [Page 2]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>travelled far since then and we would not exchange the priceless treasures of our experiences before the movement, in the movement, and after the movement for either power, position or wealth. And never do we recant by thought or word from the ideals for which we laboured with you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Therefore it would be better to describe Annie as a personality when you met her - at the Oldham meeting and at your home in Manchester.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Wherever we go we realise more and more what a wonderful mother we had. Idle or malicious gossip mother never permitted in our home. She heated meanness, cowardice, deceit and disloyalty, and loved generosity, courage, utter frankness and loyalty.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> When you met Annie you had the prevision to see all these qualities in her. It was these qualities in her that you felt you could use - not cleverness, not academic education, but those fine things which British people love - character and personality, coupled with kindness and tolerance and a fine discrimination and discretion. Had it not been for that training in our home life Annie would not have been able to undertake, apart from the organising capacity with she naturally had, the delicate work of negotiation and diplomacy which was imposed upon her during the last phase of the women's militant movement.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> With love to you as always and every good wish.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jessie Kenney [<em>Handwritten signature</em>]</p>

Jessie writes to Christabel Pankhurst about issues with Annie’s representation as a working-class suffragette. Christabel at this point is planning to write a book on the suffragette movement and Jessie thinks it can help dissolve previous representations of Annie as a simple ‘cotton operative’. She fears that prejudice against Annie’s working-class background would diminish her legacy. Only “men [like Mussolini, Ramsay Macdonald, Lloyd George and J. H. Thomas] who have always worked for ambition and power and have not cared overmuch how they attained it” are forgiven their humble origins. She also writes that herself and Annie were “too unsophisticated” and “babes in wordly wisdom” after they left the movement but have had to learn much about how the world operates since. “The world is too materialistic as yet to appreciate the full dignity of selfless service at the price of wealth, circumstances and appearances.”

<p><span>2172 Vista del Mar </span><span>Avenue, </span><span> January 25</span><span>th</span><span> 1949.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Los Angeles 28, California</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Dearest Annie,</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> I am happy to have, forwarded by Grace, a Christmas card and message. I cannot go further in writing to you without referring to the death of our beloved General. Grace and I feel that this is the first break in the circle of you and me and the General and Grace he herself, upon whom a good deal depended in the good days of the WSPU [</span><i><span>the Women’s Social and Political Union</span></i><span>]. Shall I ever forget that the General was the first to greet me when I came out of Holloway. How many pictures of her at different times come to my mind’s </span><span>eye.</span><span> </span><span>Ther</span><span> [</span><i><span>there</span></i><span>] never was and never will be another General. I am glad that she had so much happiness in the latter years with the husband who was so sadly killed in the war. That I think was a fatal blow so far as her life here was concerned and also she may have felt that affairs public had taken a turn other than she had hoped….that the hopes </span><span>hse</span><span> [</span><i><span>she</span></i><span>] had cherished of a happier country were not being fulfilled[.] One has to look higher than the political and economic plane to find hope for the future, in view of what is happening in our time.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> The General had a wonderful faculty for summing up a situation and a deep understanding of the </span><span>epole</span><span> [</span><i><span>people</span></i><span>] and their thoughts and motives. She was in her element in the days in and after the first world war when we were [striving] for industrial peace and a constructive solution of social and economic problems. If the ideas we put [forward] at the time had been accepted and acted upon by industrial </span><span>mangement</span><span> </span><span>[</span><i><span>management</span></i><span>] and the workers, things would have gone much better.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> One of the memories I have is the visit the General [</span><i><span>illegible deletion</span></i><span>] and I made to Paris to see Lloyd George and plead with him to make a peace which we thought would last and would avert another war. He knew we were right I believe, but he was </span><span>detrmined</span><span> [</span><i><span>determined</span></i><span>] to go another way and so he quite lost his temper.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> When the next war did come as we warned it would, he said strangely little and seemed to feel that it was not very much his business. No doubt he had not the health and strength to play a </span><span>really active</span><span> part in that war. Of course, we can never forget the great leadership that he gave the country in World War 1. If </span><span>[he had] done as well in making peace as he did in waging the war, history would have been different and less sorrowful.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span><span>It is really very difficult to realise our General has left the world. A chapter has closed for us.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> Now who do you think has written to me? Mrs Tuke. our </span><span>dearm</span><span> [</span><i><span>d</span></i><i><span>ear</span></i><span>] </span><span>hon.sec</span><span>. [honorary secretary] of old. Captain Cameron-Swan had written to tell me of the death of his wife, whom you will well remember. When I replied to him, he wrote again to say that Mrs Tuke had recently called on him. [I] wrote her a letter in his care and now she has written and the same affection. I [had lost] knowledge of where she was in the world.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> Grace has </span><span>tlod</span><span> [</span><i><span>told</span></i><span>] me of [J]</span><span>essie’s</span><span> letter to her with the account of your brother Rowland’s fine career in the Foreign Office. </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>[Page 2]</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span><span>You </span><span>Kenneys</span><span> do “make good”, do you not. You must be proud of your brother. How sad that he has lost the presence of his wife. She must have been a great inspiration to him. </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> I am sure that Warwick is still as great a joy to you as </span><span>e</span><span> ever. I am happy that he came through the </span><span>wa</span><span> r [</span><i><span>war</span></i><span>] unharmed and well. You are a fortunate mother of a son who was in the service. I must say this that all the sons [I] know that were in the British and American armed forces were </span><span>unwounded</span><span> and survived with </span><span>alomost</span><span> [</span><i><span>almost</span></i><span>] no exceptions. d and these were only wounded and not killed.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> Now for another point on which I should l </span><span>ike</span><span> [</span><i><span>like</span></i><span>] your opinion. It is not unlike the point that arose when some were agitating to have film of the movement. I have </span><span>jus</span><span> t [</span><i><span>just</span></i><span>] received a letter from one who would like to write a life of Mother and history of the movement combined. Now as you know, I have myself written such a book and had a [definite] contract for its publication and even had placed the manuscript in the publisher’s hands. Then I decided not to publish the book because of the then Gathering Storm, as Churchill calls the oncoming of the recent second </span><span>worl</span><span> d [</span><i><span>world</span></i><span>] war.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> The world at this present time is also darkened by a gathering storm and as I think of what bad propaganda for England the </span><span>hist</span><span> </span><span>ory</span><span> [</span><i><span>history</span></i><span>] of the treatment of the [cause and the women] would provide.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> I hate to think of fanning the embers of that old struggle of reviving the memory of forcible feeding and the repeated </span><span>berayals</span><span> [</span><i><span>betrayals</span></i><span>] of the cause by those promise-breaking politicians…. a disgrace to </span><span>England..</span><span> Shall I rather say that I [</span><i><span>illegible deletion</span></i><span>] </span><span>shrink</span><span> from doing this.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> I have sent for my manuscript and am so telling the lady who aspire to write the book herself though she does say that if I am going to </span><span>pu</span><span> </span><span>blish</span><span> [</span><i><span>publish</span></i><span>] [</span><i><span>illegible deletion</span></i><span>] my book there would be no question of her writing one.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> She feels that she is in touch with the younger generation who would more probably read such a book written by her. I </span><span>mayy</span><span> [</span><i><span>may</span></i><span>] may write to suggest to her that she write a book about the present and </span><i><span>[illegible deletion]</span></i><span> future needs and duties of this younger generation of women.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> After all, we have the vote and now it is for the younger women to use it wisely if they can. The statue of mother and her </span><span>[</span><span>portrait</span><span>]</span><span> in the National Portrait Gallery are memorials to her more </span><span>i</span><span> impressive than any book.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span><span>One difficulty </span><span>about a book written so soon after the events</span><span> recorded, is the references to </span><span>various individuals still living which may not satisfy them and their friends and cause discontent. [I] feel that the books now being written about the recent war have raised this difficulty.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> I do not [</span><span>know</span><span>] how you feel on this book </span><span>business</span><span> but </span><span>I</span><span> </span><span>should like to know.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> It seems to me that some of these ladies are living with their eyes shut to the gravity of the state of the world today, oblivious of the danger of war and other trouble. you </span><span>amy</span><span> </span><span>[</span><i><span>may</span></i><span>] think that I am over sensitive on this book question...and it is true that [M]other and I were always </span><span>dislikers</span><span> of personal publicity and a book means a good deal of that[.] There are too some rather difficult points arising out of personal things re relating to those who some of them were in the movement at different stages. I need mention no names. With love and remembrance. Christabel. You note I am typing now.</span><span> </span></p>

Letter from Christabel Pankhurst to Annie Kenney from 25 January 1949
[Transcription is available below]
Christabel writes about the death of fellow suffragette, Flora ‘the General’ Drummond. “It is really very difficult to realise our General has left the world. A chapter has closed for us.” Spearheading the militant suffragette movement, Christabel, Annie, the General and Grace Roe were all very close friends and continued to take interest in each other’s lives after their militant days were over. During the votes for women struggle, the General was imprisoned nine times and went on a hunger strike several times. She got her nickname because of her habit to lead Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) marches and demonstrations riding a horse and dressed in a general’s uniform. In the 1930s, Drummond formed a right-wing league, Women’s Guild of Empire, which was opposed to communism and fascism. Christabel writes that the General’s political beliefs may have led her to feel that “affairs public had taken a turn other than she had hoped” after WWII. This refers to Clement Atlee’s landslide victory over Churchill in the 1945 General Election, which gave Labour its first majority government.

Letter from Mary Blathwayt to Annie Kenney including tree clippings
Description
An account of the resource
Annie’s Arboretum is a plantation of trees planted by suffragettes who had undergone imprisonment to mark their sacrifice for the Votes for Women cause. It was located at Eagle House in Batheaston, the home of the Blathwayt family. Over 60 trees were planted during the militant campaign (1905-1914), but were later destroyed in the 1960s to make way for a housing estate. Writing to Annie Kenney (1879-1953), between 25-26 February 1951, Mary Blathwayt (1879-1961) encloses tree leaves from the arboretum, including clippings from conifer trees planted by Lady Constance Lytton (1869-1923) and Annie on 23/4/1909; Mary Howey on 2/9/1910; and Christabel Pankhurst (1880-1958) on 6/11/1910. These clippings and a tree that was left on site are the only (known) remaining biomatter from Annie’s Arboretum.

<p><span>Dearest Annie</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Your letter of January 8</span><span>th</span><span> has just arrived.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>You are quite right [to] “stick [to] your guns” as you do and [stand] for what you believe to be wise and proper.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>If the war ends soon, the next thing will be to ensure that this project of theirs shall not be mixed up with the election which is probable if not certain in 1945. I will never agree to [</span><i><span>illegible deletion</span></i><span>] this film coming before or at the time of the election. It would not be mother’s wish that the movement should be involved in present or future election campaigns. It is a thing above and [independent] of the controversies of the passing years.</span><span> </span></p>

<p><span>I fancy that some people’s enthusiasm may dwindle if the whole idea is separated from an</span><span>y present day political [issues]</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>The script if ever written, is to be submitted to me you [</span><i><span>illegible deletion</span></i><span>] will be glad to hear. I have not heard any more since this news was written to me.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Grace was in correspondence I think, with some over there but I judge that she feels the present an inappropriate time for </span><span>any </span><span>film about the [community].

Description
An account of the resource
Letter from Christabel Pankhurst to Annie Kenney, written on 26 January 1945
Christabel discusses a film project proposed by Jill Craigie to commemorate the Suffragette Movement. Christabel is against it in the WWII and post-war context, arguing that the history of the movement should not be mixed up with “any present day political issues.” She thinks that her mother [Emmeline Pankhurst] would not agree that “the movement should be involved in present or future election campaigns.” The film idea was later reworked into a BBC radioplay, 'The Women’s Rebellion' (1951). Annie and her family were extremely disappointed with how she was represented in the piece and approached the BBC and Jill Craigie with their complaints; as a result, the play was never broadcast again.
