“…63 However, with the Bill's initial passing, the unionist response was quick, with militancy forming a core component of resistance. 64 Although the Bill was rejected in the Lords in January 1913, barring a change in the Liberal government, it was almost certain that by the summer of 1914 the Home Rule Bill would become law. 65 This was due to the passage of the Parliament Act of 1911 (abolishing the absolute veto of the Lords), which meant that Ulster leaders could only block the passage of Home Rule by non-parliamentary means.…”

The Irish question and women's suffrage were two noteworthy topics of debate in Britain and Ireland in the period surrounding the Great War. Both questions challenged British constitutional politics, split opinion, and prompted newspaper coverage. This article is interested in the debates as they occurred in Britain. Through a case study of two British suffrage newspapers, The Suffragette/Britannia and The Woman's Dreadnought/The Workers' Dreadnought , edited respectively by Christabel and Sylvia Pankhurst, this article investigates how British suffrage press reported on Ireland. It asks: how did British suffrage press coverage of the Irish question develop throughout 1912-18? It argues The Suffragette/Britannia and The Woman's Dreadnought/The Workers' Dreadnought are useful representations of the Pankhurst sisters' diverging political opinion, which also evoked wider women's suffrage themes, and how the Great War and immediate post-war period shaped and interacted with the competing political priorities of women's suffrage and the Irish question.
