Christabel Pankhurst by June Purvis

This full-length biography, the first for forty years, draws upon feminist approaches to biography writing to place Christabel Pankhurst within a network of supportive female friendships. It is based upon an unrivalled range of previously untapped primary sources.

"Purvis’s biography is also a dramaHer presentation of Christabel’s life as a sibling rivalry within a celebrity family drama, whose protagonists' voices call to each other across the archives, makes this work of academic significance a compelling read..."

- Emelyne Godfrey, Times Literacy Supplement

"Purvis has provided an exemplary and detailed study within the context of the wider Pankhurst family, in which some attention is devoted to Christabel's life after suffrage. (...) This immensely detailed biography asks us (...) to think about the ways in which we judge women who take part in radical politics (from all sides of the political spectrum)."

- Mary Evans, Times Higher Education
