Best Answer

Neither Emiline Pankhurst nor her daughters played a very great part in the cause of female suffrage.

The Suffragettes refused to join with the Labour movement in their call for universal suffrage. The Suffragette movement, by this refusal, is shown to oppose voting rights for working class women.

It was the demands of the Lobour movement that were reflected in the Reform Act of 1918. The franchise was extended to working class men and to some women, provided they met certain criteria, mainly that they should be married to men with voting rights.

This was not at all what the Suffragettes had been fighting for, the only conclusion can be that the Suffragettes were not responsible for winning voting rights for women in Britain.

The only Pankhusrt who comes out of this well is Sylvia. She was expelled from the WSPU in 1914 because of her association with the Labour movement and work with the working classes of the East End of London.
