On 14 February 1907, as a member of the WSPU National Executive Committee, she was one of 52 women arrested during a march to the House of Commons and spent 21 days in Holloway. In November of that year, she became a member of the first NEC of the breakaway WFL. In 1908 Bessie was a WFL delegate at the International Women’s Suffrage Alliance Congress in Amsterdam; Charles Drysdale represented the MLWS. The involvement of the whole family in the campaign was demonstrated in the June 1908 procession to Hyde Park, organised by the WSPU: ‘in the WFL contingent, secretary Edith How Martyn walked with a pretty little girl, Eva Drysdale, whose father marched with the MLWS, whose mother was with the prisoners, and whose grandmother took her place with the veterans.’ (The Vote 25 June 1910) Bessie wrote across her page in the 1911 Census: ‘As the Government refuses me a vote and as I am not therefore recognised as a citizen, I refuse to perform the duties of one in giving the information required by the Government’, signing with her name as a member of the WFL. She represented the WFL at the International Women’s Suffrage Alliance Congress in Stockholm that summer, reporting on it to The Vote, acknowledging some material supplied by Margery Corbett Ashby. At this time Bessie, Charles and Eva lived at 49 Rotherwick Road, Hampstead Garden Suburb. Alice lived at 47 and a local WFL branch was formed here, with Bessie as secretary. Photographs in the Schwimmer/Lloyd Collection in New York Public Library show that on 7 October 1911 Bessie and Charles took part in a procession to Holloway Gaol to protest against the imprisonment of Clemence Housman, for non-payment of rates. In one photograph Bessie is identified as the tall figure left of centre; on the right is Christabel Pankhurst. It is likely that Charles took and inscribed the photographs showing Bessie. He himself appears in another photograph, probably taken by Bessie, as the man on the right carrying a banner, immediately in front of Clemence Housman herself. Bessie remained on the WFL NEC until April 1912, when she and several other prominent members, including Edith How Martyn, announced that they had left to campaign independently. It was at this time, and presumably for Eva’s health, that the Drysdales acquired 13 acres at Heathfield, East Sussex, where they built a house, Cherry Croft, and Bessie attempted to establish a women’s co-operative fruit and chicken smallholding. After Eva’s death in 1914 this enterprise was abandoned and Bessie, during the War and under the auspices of the Malthusian League, published a series of leaflets emphasizing the need to reduce the birth-rate at a time of such shortages. After the War, she travelled the country, arranging meetings held by the American birth control campaigner, Mary Sanger, and promoting Ministry of Health birth control information.

She married Samuel Boutcher Callear, an insurance agent, on 31 May 1881. The couple had five children – Emily (born 1883), Percy, Mary, Annie, Dorothy and Florence (born 1892). By 1901, the family were living at 9 Hunter Street, Wolverhampton, and by 1911 they were at 114 Upper Villiers Street. All five children became teachers. Caroline, Florence and Emily became members of the Wolverhampton Women’s Suffrage Society. Caroline served on the committee from 1912 onward, and Emily was actively involved in collecting subscriptions and delivering notices in the district of Blakenhall. Caroline was also a member of the Insurance Committee and of the Allowances Committee of the Pensions Committee, as well as serving as president of the Women’s Section of the local Labour party. On 31 August 1920, Caroline made history by becoming the first woman to be sworn in as a magistrate for the borough of Wolverhampton, taking her oath before the Mayor, Councillor T. Henn. As reported in the Wolverhampton Chronicle the following day, the Chairman of the Bench, Councillor J. F. Beckett, welcomed her, but stated that “there were cases heard in that Court of such a character that he had no doubt Mrs Callear would prefer not to sit.” She responded by saying that “she had always believed that women should take their full share in citizenship…She did not expect to find the work very pleasant; she expected it to be very painful; but it was work that had to be done.” Caroline died on 20 May 1939, when the value of her effects was £180 18s.

Suffrage Society The suffrage society this person was affiliated with at the time of the 1911 UK Census WSPU Census This person's response to the 1911 UK Census Resists Biographical Text Catherine Annie Smart (1847-1915) was a member of the local WSPU in Folkestone and Boarding housekeeper at 'Trevarra' for several years. One of her long term residents there appears to have been WSPU organiser for Canterbury and South Kent, Miss Florence Macaulay. The hotel proprietor, a Miss Marjorie Key, was clearly sympathetic to the votes for women cause as she consented to several fund raising events and suffrage planning meetings being held at Trevarra. This included in 1912, a suffragette equivalent of the 'Antiques Roadshow' where members were invited to bring items for valuation in exchange for a donation to raise funds for the WSPU! (see image). On census night in 1911, Catherine oversaw a census 'evasion' at the boarding house, providing a safe space for 3 other women to evade - one of whom was likely Macaulay. Catherine resists rather than evades the 1911 census, listing herself as 'Mrs Smart'. The census official writes suffragette next to her name, creating - presumably unintentionally - a rather witty read of 'Mrs Smart Suffragette'. The census official also notes that Mrs Smart and the others refused to fill in the schedule because 'women have no vote'. Still at 30 Bouverie Road West, Catherine died in January 1915 aged 68.

She was a physician and surgeon and spent a number of years living and studying in Ireland at the Royal University of Ireland. She seems to have moved back to England when offered a position as assistant medical officer at Lancaster County Asylum in 1894. In contrast to her law abiding suffragist sibling Harriet, Catherine became a member of the suffragette WSPU although when she joined is unclear. Catherine is absent from the 1911 census records so, she may already have been with the WSPU and taking part in the suffragette boycott of the census that year in protest at not having the vote. Some suffragettes 'evaded' the census which may explain her absence from the record. By 1913 Catherine had become Press and Honorary Secretary of the WSPU's Coventry branch and chaired regular public meetings often held in the city's Market Square. Public speaking for the vote was a brave undertaking as women were often jeered and sometimes physically assaulted by people in the crowd or passers-by. In one public speech, she made clear her reasons for campaigning stating that, 'Without the vote there could be no real improvement in the conditions of this country. Women did not want the vote for the pleasure and excitement of going to the polling booth once every five years; they wanted it to ameliorate the conditions of men, women and children' (Coventry Herald, Oct 10 and 11, 1913, p12). Several locations are given for Catherine during the campign years: 'Beech Brae' and 71 Berry Street where she is located on our map (this property may have been owned by her sister Harriet and husband) and in 1914, an office for suffrage 'at homes' located at no. 1 Holyhead Road. In later years, Catherine became an expert in the treatment of tuberculosis and ran the Eastby Sanatorium in Bradford, Leeds. Afterwards, she moved with her sister Harriet and brother in law to Kirkconnel Hall in Ecclefechan, Scotland. Catherine died in 1942 aged 84. Researcher: Tara Morton.

Suffrage Society The suffrage society this person was affiliated with at the time of the 1911 UK Census WSPU Census This person's response to the 1911 UK Census Resists Biographical Text Born in Maidstone, Catherine Emily Pine trained as a nurse at St Bartholomew’s Hospital between 1895-1897. She was described glowingly during training as ‘punctual, very kind and attentive, very patient and even tempered’ with Ward Sisters recording that she would make ‘a very good nurse’. She remained at St Bart’s working as a hospital Sister from 1900 until 1907. By 1908, Nurse Pine as she would become known, was running a nursing home in Notting Hill and was by then a member of the WSPU. She ran it with fellow WSPU and St. Bart’s trained nurse Gertrude Townend who was injured in a tussle with police in 1913 at Bow Baths Hall. In 1908, WSPU leader Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst’s son Harry who was frequently ill, was taken there for treatment as were other WSPU and sometimes family members. Sadly, Mrs Pankhurst's son Harry died there when he was readmitted two years later in 1910. The nursing home, situated by 1909 at 9 Pembridge Gardens, was used by suffragettes recovering from imprisonment, especially after the infamous ‘Cat and Mouse Act’ was passed in 1913 (see our Suffrage Glossary in Resources). In that year, Mrs Pankhurst was released from prison after hunger striking, and Nurse Pine became her devoted carer. However, due to press intrusion and constant police presence at the nursing home, Mrs Pankhurst was moved and cared for instead by Nurse Pine, at several different WSPU member homes (see images). When the government census survey was taken in April 1911, Nurse Pine ‘resisted’. She gave her patient details under protest, as well as her own name, but wrote across her census form in both black and red ink: ‘Above names at request. For the rest No Votes No Information’ (see images). In 1915, WSPU leader Mrs Pankhurst set up a hostel to care for ‘illegitimate’ war babies and by 1917, this was situated at 50 Clarendon Road, London. Nurse Pine took joint charge there later joining Mrs Pankhurst in America in 1920. The two then relocated to Canada along with three of the adopted ‘war babies’. However, in 1923 Nurse Pine returned to England when the dynamics of her relationship with Mrs Pankhurst altered with the arrival of her daughter Christabel and her adopted daughter. Nurse Pine never saw Mrs Pankhurst again, but the two kept in touch by letter. When Mrs Pankhurst died, Nurse Pine was at her funeral. Much of Nurse Pine’s suffrage memorabilia is now with the Museum of London. Key source: Elizabeth Crawford, The Suffrage Movement: A Reference Guide, 1866-1928 (London, 1999).
