y Il
Mrs. Pankhurst's personality alone has
held many thousands of women to
cause which is now proving to be one OF
the most violent in all English history.
Her spirit is behind the whole movement.
If il we're not for her the radical section
of the Women's Social and Political
Union would have long ago committed
outrages that the English nation could
never have forgiven. AT the same time,
she is no doubt directly responsible for
many of the violent acts that have been
committed. Even now, weak as she Is,
she is able to direct personally the work
of the union during those times when she
is out of Holloway Jail. And now her
work Is said to be reaching SUCCESSFUL
end although it is generally agreed that
il may be tragic end for her, as the
frail little woman is gradually giving
way under her self-imposed burden
