Joan Beauchamp

Constance 'Joan' Beauchamp (1 November 1890 – 1964) was a prominent anti-World War I campaigner, suffragette and co-founder of the Communist Party of Great Britain.

She was the sister of Kay Beauchamp, who went on to become a fellow founder member of the Communist Party of Great Britain.

The NCF was established to help and give advice to the estimated 16,000 pacifists and socialists who refused to join the military and fight.

She was one of the founders and a lifelong member of the Communist Party of Great Britain and an associate of suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst.

[3] She was a supporter of the Soviet Union's collectivization of agriculture and published a book, Agriculture in Soviet Russia (1931), on the subject and an article claiming she "completely failed to find" any "signs of famine" during her 1933 visit to Ukraine (at the time of the Holodomor) and that "nowhere" did she "find the word 'famine' used by the people themselves".
