This broadside is from Emmeline Pankhurst's visit to the United States in 1916 with the former Secretary of State for Serbia, Cedomilj Mijatovic, whose nation was at the center of fighting at the start of World War I. Together they raised money and urged the US government to support Britain, Canada, and other allies. Two years later, after the United States entered the war, Pankhurst returned to America, encouraging suffragists who had not suspended their militancy to support the war effort by sidelining activities related to the vote. |
