Timeline 1907 – Official members of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), which is a UK based organization, questioned Emmeline Pankhurst and Christabel Pankhurst, the leaders of WSPU. Members felt as though their leading members had too much influence over the organization. Months later in a September conference, Emmeline Pankhurst made it clear she'd continue being in charge of WSPU. Also in 1907 – Close to 80 members left the WSPU and formed the Women's Freedom League (WFL), which was also a militant organization. 1914 – By this point there were about 4,000 members within the WFL, most pacifists, and so they turned down any chance to be involved in British Army's recruitment campaign. The WFL organization as a whole felt as though the government was not doing enough to bring the war to an end. It is because of this that they then supported the Women's Peace Crusade's campaign for negotiated peace. 4 August 1914 – It was two days after the British government declared war on Germany that the National Union of Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) declared no political activity would be permitted until the conflict was over. 1915 - Those within the Women's Freedom League founded the Women's Peace Council for a negotiated peace.
