: A campaigning English feminist and socialist. Committed to organising working-class women in London's East End, and unwilling in 1914 to enter into a wartime political truce with the government, she broke with the suffragette leadership of her mother and sister, Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst.

Quote #7 on Education Struggle Quotes >> Learning and Civilization
“Those whose guiding motive in life has been to preserve their personal privileges and to serve their personal gains, have always opposed educational and other reforms affecting the masses. The lovers of humanity, including those whose love was limited, have carried through such reforms, in spite of the prejudiced, the selfish and the ignorant in all classes.”
