Dame Christabel Harriette Pankhurst, DBE , was a suffragette born in Manchester, England. A cofounder of the Womens Social and Political Union160, she directed its militant actions from exile in France from 1912 to 1913. In 1914 she supported the war against Germany. After the war she moved to the United States, where she worked as an evangelist for the Second Adventist movement.
Nancy Ellen Rupprecht wrote, She was almost a textbook illustration of the first child born to a middleclass family. In childhood as well as adulthood, she was beautiful, intelligent, graceful, confident, charming, and charismatic. Christabel enjoyed a special relationship with both her mother and father, who had named her after Christabel, the poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge . Her mothers death in 1928 had a devastating impact on Christabel.
