schenke married richard dixon in july 1914 and supported the suffragettes until the outbreak of war. emmeline and christabel pankhurst had declared a truce for their suffragettes and schenke believed that the fight for the vote was more or less won. she did not mention this episode in her life until she saw, for the first time, her photograph in the "sunday times". she reported that she considered herself as unimportant in the suffragette movement, although she had met olive hockin (number 2), margaret mcfarlane (number 3) and jane short (number 6). her story became a source of pride to her descendants.
