ABSTRACT
Even though suffrage militancy had been suspended with the outbreak of war, Emmeline knew that it was inevitable that, sometime in the future, women would be granted their citizenship rights. As she wrote the closing paragraphs of her autobiography later that summer of 1914, she forecast, ‘Our battles are practically over. … No future Government will repeat the mistakes and the brutality of the Asquith Ministry.’1 Although the 14 August issue of The Suffragette had been printed, it was not published, and publication ceased until eight months later.
