Not surprisingly, the historical record has been shaped by the political persuasions of a particular narrator. For example, the story of "Women's Social and Political Union" as told by Christabel Pankhurst differs from her sister Sylvia's "The Suffragette Movement" on the same topic: Christabel's militant stance clashed with Sylvia's belief that equality would come with social reform. More controversial still were those women in the Anti-Suffrage League, who were unconditionally opposed to women gaining the vote and whose writings also appear in these volumes, giving diverse perspective to the many controversies within British feminism. |
