| Performance Notes | Speakers included Emmeline Pankhurst, Christabel Pankhurst, Mrs Drummond and Annie Kenney. The Pankhurst's had formed a new party called the Women's Party after gaining the vote.
"A meeting of the Women's Party was held at the Royal Albert Hall yesterday afternoon to celebrate the Women's Suffrage victory. A resolution was put to the meeting stating that the Women's Party would pledge themselves to use their political power in promoting the victory of Britain and her allies. It recognised that the primary duty of women citizens in this great crisis is to defeat pro-Germanism and Bolshevism on the industrial as well as the political front, and called on the Government, the captains of industry, and patriotic working men to cooperate in retaining women in the factories and workshops during and after the war on the basis of the equal right to work and equal pay for equal work."
