EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a young Christabel Pankhurst at the tender age of 17, during her summer stay with the Rochefort Du Faux family in Geneva. The image portrays a moment in history when her mother Emmeline harbored hopes that she would pursue a career as a ballet dancer. Christabel's poised and graceful stance exudes an air of elegance and potential, hinting at the possibility of a future on stage. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its portrayal of one of the most influential personalities in women's rights activism, captured at a time when her path could have taken a different turn. The backdrop of Geneva adds to the allure of this snapshot, transporting us back to 1898 and offering a glimpse into Christabel's formative years. It is fascinating to imagine what might have been had she chosen to follow her mother's aspirations for her dance career. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this precious piece of history, allowing us to reflect on the choices and paths that shape our lives. This print serves as a reminder of the complexities and possibilities that lie within each individual, even those who go on to make significant contributions to society beyond their initial dreams.
