in herTSM, p. 406, about her mother’s attitude towards Adela – ‘The idea of becoming a
gardener ... was a reaction from the knowledge that ... she was often regarded with more
disapproval than approbation by Mrs. Pankhurst and Christabel, and was the subject of a
sharper criticism than the other organizers had to face.’ As noted earlier, the extant letters
from Emmeline to Adela, and from Emmeline to Helen Archdale about her daughter,
express motherly concern and affection for Adela.
