How did Emmeline's daughters Adela and Sylvia feel about her activism?

  • Supported it fully

  • Were indifferent

  • Left the WSPU

  • Donated to the cause

Answer

Adela and Sylvia Pankhurst were Emmeline's daughters, and they were both involved in the WSPU, but they eventually left the organization. Adela left because she disagreed with the WSPU's use of violence, while Sylvia left because she felt that the WSPU was too focused on winning the vote for women and not enough on improving the lives of working-class women.
