Scope and content

Lillian Buckley (nee Dove-Willcox), a fellow suffragette and a colleague of Annie from her time at the Bristol WSPU [Women’s Social and Political Union], writes to James Taylor to express her condolences for Annie’s death. Annie was a South-West WSPU Organiser for a number of years in the early 1910s before relocating to London to head the Movement during Christabel Pankhurst’s exile in Paris. Lillian writes about Annie: “Never had I met such an amazing character or one who was such a complete joy to work with. After she left Bristol the work did not forge ahead with the same genius of inspiration, as no-one in my experience, has ever had the same kind of spirit which made all the members of the WSPU in Bristol feel they ‘Can do’.”
