Christabel Pankhurst, 1880 in Manchester geboren, war eine britische Suffragette. Mit öffentlichen Protesten, Verbalattacken auf ranghohe Politiker oder Hungerstreiks setzte sie sich für Frauenrechte ein. Ihre Aktionen bescherten Christabel Pankhurst mehrere Gefängnisaufenthalte. Von ihr stammt die erste Ton-Aufnahme einer Frauenrechtlerin überhaupt. Sie hören Christabel Pankhurst in einer Rede vom 18. Dezember 1908 – nachdem sie mal wieder aus dem Gefängnis entlassen wurde. Sie fordert hier vor allem, dass Frauen als gleichberechtigte Staatsbürgerinnen anerkannt werden und das Recht erhalten, zu wählen.

When did you last take part in a protest? Perhaps you signed a petition; joined a debate on social media; wrote to your MP or read an impassioned poem. In this episode Lemn is joined by Shami Chakrabarti to examine how campaigners have used language to further their aims throughout the centuries. Together, they listen to inspiring voices from the British Library Sound Archive, from leaders such as Nelson Mandela to campaigners fighting for LGBTQ rights, punk musicians and suffragettes such as Christabel Pankhurst.  Described in The Times as "probably the most effective public affairs lobbyist of the past 20 years," Shami Chakrabarti is a barrister and human rights activist, as well as Member of the House of Lords and former Director of advocacy organisation Liberty.

RE-RELEASED FOR WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH. The reason we all believe Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst achieved women's votes in Britain is because that's the narrative created in the 20s and 30s by former suffragettes. The reality of what Emmeline and Christabel got up to post 1918 is shocking. Suffice it to say it involves racial purity and telling working women they can buy silk underwear, shapely shoes and fur hats, not by improving their working conditions but by giving into the feminine desire for shopping. What?

RE-RELEASING FOR WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH. The militant strategy of the WSPU – the Pankhurst Suffragettes - is delivering them headlines. It gets them nowhere with the government but it makes enormous sums of advertising revenue from fancy retailers, and funds Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst's society lifestyle. Rich London ladies in silks and satins pour in the money, while working-class activists take all the risks. WSPU officer Theresa Billington drafts a constitution to give everyone a say but Emmeline Pankhurst tears it up and manoeuvres anyone with a socialist agenda out. Who exactly is this organisation for?

Suffragetterna arbetade för kvinnliga rösträtt i Storbritannien i början av 1900-talet under parollen ”handling inte ord”. Det var en militant rörelse, som frustrerade över att deras krav på rösträtt ignorerades av politikerna, valde våld som ett medel i kampen för kvinnlig rösträtt.Suffragetterna var en del av rösträttsorganisationen Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) som bildades 1903. Med tiden blev suffragetterna allt våldsammare i sitt arbete för kvinnans rättigheter. Det handlade om fönsterkrossning, häckling vid politiska möten, stenkastning, bomber och bränder.”Om män använder sprängmedel och bomber för sina syften kallas det krig och kastandet av en bomb som förstör andra människor beskrivs som en ärorik och heroisk handling. Varför ska en kvinna inte använda samma vapen som män. Det är inte bara krig vi har deklarerat. Vi kämpar för en revolution”, skrev en av ledarna Christabel Pankhurst 1913.I en nymixad version av det 12:e avsnittet av podcasten Historia Nu samtalar programledare Urban Lindstedt med frilansjournalisten och författaren Anna Larsdotter om suffragettrörelsen. Hon har bland annat skrivit boken Kvinnor i strid, som berättar om kvinnor som på olika sätt deltagit i krig – från 1600-tal till idag.Emmeline Pankhurst (1858-1928) grundade 1903 tillsammans med döttrarna Christabel Pankhurst och Sylvia Pankhurst rösträttsorganisationen Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), vars karismatiska och maktfullkomliga ledare hon blev.Redan i det klassiska Grekland saknade kvinnorna tillsammans med slavarna rösträtt. Och fortfarande på 1800-talet saknade kvinnor rösträtt i hela världen. Först ut med kvinnlig rösträtt var Nya Zeeland 1893, följt av Australien 1903, Finland 1906 och Norge 1913.I Storbritannien hade grupper kämpat för kvinnliga rösträtt från 1840-talet. En rad lagförslag om kvinnlig rösträtt röstades ner under 1800-talet och början på 1900-talet. Det var ur frustrationen över att kraven på kvinnlig rösträtt ignorerades gång på gång som den mer våldsamma suffragetterörelsen utvecklades.Suffragetter brände ner en paviljong i Kew Garden – den första av fler än fyrtio mordbränder under åren 1913–14. En suffragette kastade en yxa mot premiärminister Asquith och vid ett annat tillfälle angrep en kvinna honom med en hästpiska.Suffragetten Mary Richardson högg sönder en målning av Diego Velázquez, nakenstudien ”Venus i spegeln” på National Gallery. Andra aktivister skar av telegraf- och telefonledningarna mellan London och Glasgow. Finansminister Lloyd Georges hus utsattes för ett bombattentat, vilket gjorde att Emmeline Pankhurst greps och dömdes till tre års fängelse för uppvigling.1913 åkte Emily Wilding Davison till galoppbanan Epson Downs med en suffragettflagga i handen och en lindad runt kroppen, under kappan. Kungens häst som föll när hon försökte ta tyglarna och Emely Wildning Davidson skadades så svårt att hon dog fyra dagar senare. Tusentals vitklädda suffragetter deltog i hennes begravning samtidigt som ledaren Emmeline Pankhurst tog avstånd från aktionen eftersom den inte var sanktionerad uppifrån.De våldsamma protesterna ledde till att många suffragetter fängslades och i fängelset tvångsmatades de regelmässigt när de hungerstrejkade. Tvångsmatningen går inte att definiera som något annat än tortyr.När första världskriget bröt ut lade suffragetterna ner sina aktioner och de döpte också om sin kamptidning till Britannica.En lag om kvinnliga rösträtt godkändes av andra kammaren i juni 1917 och av Överhuset i februari 1918. Enligt denna lag fick alla kvinnor som fyllt 30 år eller äldre rösträtt. En lag som gjorde det möjligt för kvinnor att sitta i andra kammaren kom kort efteråt. År 1928 sänktes rösträttsåldern för kvinnor till 21 år.I Sverige fick bara män som hade en viss inkomst eller egendom rösta på 1800-talet. Dessutom var rösträtten graderad – rika fick flera röster. Även företag hade rösträtt i kommunerna. Under början av 1900-talet förändrades detta stegvis i Sverige och 1919 fattade man beslut om kvinnlig rösträtt och valbarhet och de första valen där kvinnor deltog av 1921.Musik: Oh Dear performed by Gerri Gribi See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome friends, we thought for this episode we would take some time to tell two stories about figures from history from two of our particular fields of interest. Up first is Lauren who tells us the story of Christabel Pankhurst, a leading figure in the women's suffrage movement in the UK. It's an amazing story of a figure who in some respects was overshadowed by her own sister. Next up Brian tells us a bit of the legend of The Mysterious Billy Smith, the late 19th century Welterweight Boxing Champion, known as the dirtiest fighter in history, and who's ghost allegedly haunts the Shanghai Tunnels. All of our episodes are listed as explicit due to some language and also, we discuss topics, such as historical crime, that may not be suitable for all audiences.

Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know -- but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Pioneers, Dreamers, Villainesses, STEMinists, Warriors & Social Justice Warriors, and many more.

Despite her prominent role in the women’s suffrage movement in Great Britain, Christabel Pankhurst has not received the same degree of attention from scholars that had been given to her mother Emmeline or her sister Sylvia. In Christabel Pankhurst: A Biography (Routledge, 2018), June Purvis offers a thorough accounting of her life, revealing the full extent of her contribution to the campaign to win for women in Britain the right to vote. The eldest daughter of Emmeline and Richard Pankhurst, Christabel grew up in a household in which commitment to social reform was stressed as the highest value. Even before her graduation from university Christabel helped establish the Women’s Social and Political Union, which won national prominence through its pursuit of militant activism. Though Christabel’s activities forced her to move to France in 1912 in order to avoid arrest, she returned soon after the start of the First World War in order to support her nations war effort. Her belief that such support would earn women the vote partly validated in 1918 with a restricted extension of the franchise to women, yet her disillusionment with the conflict led Christabel to become a Second Adventist by the wars end. As Purvis details, the oratorical skills that made her such a successful campaigner for women’s suffrage were just as effective in her new role as a preacher, and she continued her efforts on behalf of her newfound faith to the end of her life.

Dès la fin du XIXè siècle, des femmes ont commencé à s'organiser au Royaume-Uni pour réclamer davantage de droits et notamment celui de voter. Leur combat se radicalise en partie au début du XXè siècle et finit par porter ses fruits.

In 1914, Belfast's Crumlin Road Gaol housed militant suffragettes. When war was declared, Christabel Pankhurst called on women to postpone their struggle and support the fight.
