Although she was energised by the struggle–and found joy in giving energy to others– her constant travelling meant separation from her children, especially Christabel, who had become the national coordinator of the WSPU.

As Pankhurst's eldest daughter Christabel took leadership of the WSPU, antagonism between the group and the government grew.

C. Pankhurst 1959, p. 288. A truce with the government was established, all WSPU prisoners were released, and Christabel returned to London.

E. S. Pankhurst 1931, p. 517. With their mother's blessing, Christabel ordered Sylvia's group to dissociate from the WSPU.

Inside Holloway Prison Emmeline Pankhurst staged her first hunger strike to improve conditions for other suffragettes in nearby cells; she was quickly joined by Pethick-Lawrence and other WSPU members.

It set the tone for much of the socialist and activist history written about the WSPU and particularly solidified Emmeline Pankhurst's reputation as an unreasonable autocrat.

On her own initiative and without the approval of the WSPU, she went from disrupting meetings to stone throwing and arson.

Pankhurst, her daughters, and other WSPU activists received repeated prison sentences, where they staged hunger strikes to secure better conditions.

She also insisted that a small committee chosen by the members in attendance be allowed to co-ordinate WSPU activities.

She fled to Paris, where she directed WSPU strategy in exile.
