Légende
Christabel Pankhurst being modelled at Madam Tussaud's by Mr Tussaud, c1908. She was the eldest daughter of Dr. Richard Pankhurst and Emmeline Pankhurst. Together with her sister Sylvia and her mother she became involved in the suffrage movement. In 1903 the three women formed the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). Christabel advocated a campaign that would appeal to the more prosperous members of society, and favoured limited suffrage, a system that would only give the vote to women with money and property. In 1912, the police began arresting the leaders of the WSPU, and Christabel fled to France. After the passing of the Qualification of Women Act in 1918, she became one of the seventeen women candidates that stood in the post-war election. In 1921 she went to live in the US where she became a prominent member of Second Adventist movement.
