Maude Knox: Whitehead Presbyterian Church

Whitehead was a small town and suffrage activists would have had neighbours and friends with opposing views. Many of the suffragette activists were very angry with the Ulster Unionists, in particular SIr Edward Carson who was opposed to women getting the vote. Women were furious that suffragettes were being imprisoned while the Ulster Volunteer Force, led by Sir Edward Carson, were gunrunning and preparing for civil war but went unpunished. This included Maude Knox's husband, the Reverend Knox, who held a church service for the Ulster Volunteer Force. At this time the Ulster Volunteer Force were a militia that vowed to resist attempts to impose home rule upon Ulster.
