Information

The First World War divided suffrage activists. Some thought it was their duty to help in the war, or that it would help in their campaign for the vote if they showed that they were patriotic. Others thought that the war was wrong. Charlotte Despard was opposed to the war, her sister Kate went to the war and was killed in the Balkans, and their brother John French was a distinguished General and Commander In Chief of the British Expeditionary Force at the start of the war.
