Biography
Christabel Pankhurst (1880–1958) led the militant suffragist campaign in Britain, steering the Women’s Social and Political Union toward the dramatic public demonstrations that brought the demand for voting rights to the forefront of national consciousness.
After moving to the United States, she continued to promote civic engagement and social reform, and she is laid to rest at Woodlawn Memorial Cemetery as a testament to her lifelong pursuit of equality.
