Adela Pankhurst (Red Oceania)

Adela Pankhurst (born on June 19, 1885) was a suffragette, communist, and founder of the Women Communists of Oceania.

Pre-Revolution
Adela Pankhurst was born in Manchester, England on June 19th, 1885, to Richard Pankhurst and Emmeline Pankhurst. From a young age, she was deeply engaged in politics, having a socialist father and suffragette mother and sisters. In 1914, she moved to Australia. She joined the Women's Peace Army in World War One, campaigning against the war and conscription. After the war, she got involved in communism, becoming an early leader in the Communist Party of Australia.

Revolution
During the Revolution, she founded and led the Women Communists of Australia (later Women Communists of Oceania), a political and revolutionary organization supporting the Revolution. Under the command of Pankhurst, the WCO was involved in several battles, such as the Battle of Adelaide.

Post Revolution
Since the Revolution, she continued supporting the growth of the WCO, but eventually left the organization in 1932. She then completely abandoned communism in 1935, essentially leaving politics completely.
