Emily Lutyens

I must write you a line of deepest sympathy. I know how you must be suffering about Constance. We cannot disguise from ourselves that our old Constance has gone forever. I feel, whatever it may be in the future, for the moment she has passed out of the lives of her family. She has become an impersonal being, and no one will feel this so much as you.

Citation

This quotation illustrates the horror which many society women felt when one of them became a suffragette. Note that the reaction was almost as if Emily had died. This social reaction by other women was emotionally one of the most difficult things with which the suffragette had to cope.
