Family information: Father was honorary secretary for the Manchester Branch of the Men's League for Women's Suffrage. Mabel's mother and aunt were both WSPU members.

Additional Information: Mabel joined the WSPU in 1907, working as an organiser in Manchester. She took part in numerous WSPU demonstrations and deputations to the House of Commons. She was imprisoned for a month in 1908 for taking part in the 'rush' on the House of Commons, and again for three weeks in July 1909 for protesting outside a meeting being held by goverment minister Lloyd George. She was released after hunger striking for six days. Later that year, in September, she was arrested again, with others, for disrupting the Prime Minister's meeting in Birmingham, and this time was forcibly fed in prison. This was something she also endured in later imprisonments. Mabel also joined the Church League for Women's Suffrage (CLWS) after it was formed in 1909.

Other Suffrage Activities: Mabel worked as a nurse during the First World War and later became involved with the socialist and pacifist movements. She later became a journalist.
