Abstract
[The breakaway Women’s Freedom League attracted some members from the WSPU, but even those who continued to show loyalty to the Pankhursts might feel that the London leadership was too far away to understand local contexts. However, the London leadership was determined to impose strict control on the organisation and would brook no attempts to negotiate WSPU policies to suit local conditions or home-grown leaders. Local by-elections were useful occasions to increase coverage of suffragette demands, but Scottish newspapers were also interested in Scottish suffragettes’ activities in England.]
