The campaign for the parliamentary vote for women in Britain was a long and bitter struggle that began in the mid-19th century. However, it really took off in 1903 when Emmeline Pankhurst founded the women-only Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). With the slogan, "Deeds, not words", the charismatic Emmeline, a brilliant orator, together with her eldest daughter Christabel, the key strategist of the WSPU, roused the women of Britain to abandon the ladylike tactics of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies and to demand, not ask for, their democratic birthright. As their campaign became more radical, they gained more attention but in 1914 they abandoned their campaign to support the war effort. Ultimately, the risks that the suffragettes took, gained women the vote in 1918.
