Family information: Gladice married in 1913 and had three sons.
Additional Information: Gladice joined the WSPU in 1907 and was arrested in 1908 with Emmeline Pankhurst, for protesting about the imprisonment of women who had taken part in an earlier deputation to the House of Commons. She was sentenced to six weeks in Holloway Prison. She was afterwards appointed an organiser for the WSPU and was much admired as a speaker. In 1908, she was appointed National Organiser for the Midlands and set up a new regional office in Birmingham. She left Birmingham at the end of 1909 to campaign in Exeter. However, she later returned to Birmingham, as well speaking in Ireland, where she was described as a 'clever speaker who knows her subject'. It is not clear what became of Gladice after that, as she seems to disappear from the suffrage movement for a while. Ill health is suspected. However, she pops up again in 1912, chairing a meeting for WSPU leader Emmeline Pankhurst.
