Selected Christabel Pankhurst Quotations
• It is our duty to make this world a better place for women.
• What we suffragettes aspire to be when we are enfranchised is ambassadors of freedom to women in other parts of the world, who are not so free as we are.
• Ability is sexless.
• The inferiority of women is a hideous lie which has been enforced by law and woven into the British constitution.
• We are here to claim our rights as women, not only to be free, but to fight for freedom. It is our privilege, as well as our pride and our joy, to take some part in this militant movement, which, as we believe, means the regeneration of all humanity.
• Remember the dignity of your womanhood. Take courage, join hands, stand beside us, fight with us.
• Where peaceful means had failed, one act of militancy succeeded and never again was the cause ignored by that or any other newspaper.
• We are not ashamed of what we have done, because, when you have a great cause to fight for, the moment of greatest humiliation is the moment when the spirit is proudest.
• Never lose your temper with the Press or the public is a major rule of political life.
