Gladys Pott

[1][2] Pott became a committed anti-suffragist, and in 1908 she was appointed secretary of the Women's National Anti-Suffrage League (north Berkshire branch).

[4] She and Curzon ran a successful campaign to reduce the impact of the league at the Anglican Church Congress in 1912–1913.

[5] As a committed and devout Christian, Pott took particular umbrage at the launch in 1910 of the Church Suffrage League.

According to the historian Julia Bush, Pott "deeply resented this apparent attempt to appropriate religious sanction to one side of the suffrage argument".

[1] The suffragette Kate Parry Frye described Pott as "a most harsh, repellent and unpleasing woman.
