  © The Suffragist and the 'Average Women'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
The autobiographical writings of Helena Swanwick, Hannah Mitchell and Mary Gawthorpe, it is argued, suggest that the meaning of the vote lies in the mesh experienced by such suffragists between the politics of ordinary, everyday life and their subsequent involvement in the formal politics of parliament and political parties.
Helena Swanwick (born 1864), Hannah Mitchell (born 1871) and Mary Gawthorpe (born 1881) all have a bleak story to tell about their mothers' lives, each different in content, but each informed by the protean nature of sexual injustice and the subjection of women in late nineteenth-century British society.
Helena's mother was an illegitimate child, the daughter of an Irish dancer who soon abandoned her, and a Cambridge don who paid for her to be cared for at a school in France, but who acknowledged his fatherhood to her only privately and only shortly before his death.

Helena informed her that before she could consider creating another AI, she would first have to see AEV’s development through to the end, make sure that all her flaws were addressed and ironed out.
Helena did her best to calm the AI but AEV just fled into the network, leaving Helena to stare at a bank of screens all showing snow.
Helena had ensured that AEV could never harm her directly, and AEV might not have been able to anyway, but there were other ways.

Humans on Helena are forbidden even the use of fire, and though the landing party is well-prepared at the outset, a series of mishaps strips away their supplies.

We only get Helena's voice & thoughts, and I really, really wanted so much more -- because quite a bit of the time, Helena is much less interesting than the people around her.
Even given all of Helena's particular problems, her parent's very real lack of interest in her personally, and her mental state, the class divide was just too strong.
One minute he's the rough working-class husband, ordering Helena to eat her tea (for her own good, of course); or to get dressed; or open her legs, but he's also sympathetic to her singing; buys a medical textbook when Helena becomes pregnant and reads Carlyle and Karl Marx.

 RESOLUTION 1325
WILPF had its beginnings in 1915 when women from combatant and non-combatant countries gathered at the Hague in the Netherlands during the first world war to protest at the barbaric way of resolving differences and demand an end to the war.
Helena was one of the founding members of our Section, a well known suffragist and feminist.
After this the British Section of the Women’s International League was formed, which to quote Helena, was with the double object, which we regarded as inextricably joined, of working for the settlement of international disputes by some other means than war and of claiming that women should have a voice in the affairs of nations.

Helena Swanwick's less dramatic but insightful commentaries included the view that women would be dropped from their new-found, well-paid wartime jobs the minute that hostilities ended and it was crucial that they organize while they were actually in decent jobs.
The possibility that states would demand that women become breeders to replace populations was pointed out starkly by the well-known Swedish commentator, Ellen Key, in her powerful essay in 1916 on the effect of the war on women.
